Have to see the ENT, tube up the nose...eek!



Recommended Posts

My lung dr is concerned about my airway and wants me to have it checked. I'm pretty sure it means a nasal endoscopy. Listen people I barely survived the regular endoscopy with lots of drugs and you want me to sit there with no anesthesia and let you put a scope up my nose??? God help me. When will all this test bs be over. I thought I was done and was getting ready to submit to insurance but I hit this roadblock. Anyone by chance have this done? I feel like every ounce of my anxiety disorder is being tested with the testing and the surgery so I hope I survive it. Any words of encouragement are appreciated, I'm kinda stressed. Thanks!

We're you not out for the endoscopy? I was totally out and didn't even know they did it. Not sure what the dr has planned for your next test, but seems to me you may want to question why all the extra testing and concern. Make sure there's a legit reason for it and all. Drs like to milk the system and it's a waste of insurance and your time.

Yes I was awake for my endoscopy. Thanks for letting me know what it's like. I'm really scared, I'm so over this. If I don't have it done the lung dr won't sign off a clearance for me for my surgery and game over. Son of a ....

You will be fine once the tube is in your nose it's just not something we're used to but it took my test about 15 minutes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
