I'm assuming mine will be at the end since I have done everything else at the beginning.

Mine was just on Tuesday & my surgery is on the 19th. I was very surprised at how fast it went. There was a clock in the procedure room that I glanced at when the nurse gave me the anesthesia. It was 11:20. I woke up to see my Mom sitting there & asked what time it was...she said 11:33. What??? Seemed crazy to me! :P

Min is on the 19th and my surgery is the 15th of July. My surgeon requires them to be no more than 30 days apart.

Just curious, at what point during the pre-op process did ya'll get the endoscopy? Beginning? Middle? End?

I never got one! :o

(I had one a few years ago, but unrelated to this. Best. Nap. Evah!)

I had mine pretty fast in the beginning and it was the best sleep ever LOL ... They also discovered I had H-pylori and had to go on some antibiotics for 10days !!! It was all good

I had it about 6 weeks before my initial surgical date, but wound up getting sleeved a month later.

About 2/3 of the way through for me........It'll take about 12 weeks to complete my insurance required appointments/tests......that goes back to the initial informational session to the last NUT appointment (I need 3 for the insurance)....I had to wait for availability for the initial endoscopy consultation, then waited another 2 or 3 weeks before they could schedule the procedure....

They told me I will be there for about 2 hours, but the procedure itself would only take about 2 minutes.....crazy!

My surgeon didn't give me an order of what appointment to do first, etc......so I just called and made them as quickly as I could.. Good luck!

Just a side note: I have to be at their office at 1:15 p.m. and Istop eating/drinking by 9 a.m.....no other dietary restrictions.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
