You will be fine, I promise! I had an endo/colo on 7/11. It was no biggie at all. Just a teeny bit of a scratchy throat from the tube being down there.

The worst thing was the bowel prep solution the night before for the colonoscopy.

I woke up within 10 minutes after they were finished.

Best of luck!

yeah im really nervous. i cant even swallow pills so the idea if a camera going down my throat doesnt sit too well with me. i am hungry but i could deal with that. I EXTREMELY thirsty though. i like to have my ice coffee in the morning.

Im afraid by the time i get there my breath is going to stink lol. Im gonna try to rinse it out before i leave work. i really should of taken off work so i could of had it done in the morning time but i couldnt afford to take the day off =(

It's yet another step closer to getting your tool that will help you towards health. Enjoy the nap!

Mine is today at noon. For me a test for h pylori bacteria will take 2 weeks to culture . If negative, then surgery will be scheduled. if positive, my surgeon will require a 6 week treatment (antibiotics) before surgery.,

Also having a colonoscopy - was due for one anyway and insurance requires double whammy since I'll be out anyway.

Blessings all!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
