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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
