I was put to sleep. You will need to miss work just the day of the EGD. My throat was sore when I woke up and I threw up once but I had a lot wrong with me. I had 4 things wrong and a procedure done while I had the EGD. I was so scared but I'm not for my next one bc I know it isn't bad. I take xanax daily for panic attacks and anxiety so I know the fear. Please try to stop smoking my surgeon won't even do the bypass on a smoker.

Thanks for the info!! :) And my doc won't do it on a smoker either, but after surgery, I lost my other best friend-food, and went right back to smoking. :(

Maybe you should talk to your Dr about taking chantix...that's what helped me quit..

And ohh sky!! Congrats on quitting!! :D It's a struggle for sure. I just can't use chantix. I was so excited when it came out and two weeks into it I was having seriously suicidal thoughts. It was NOT cool! So, chantix is def not the answer for me, disappointing cause I know so many people who've been able to quit with it.

The same thing happened to me with meatballs...mine was not because of the sauce. I think the bread crumbs in the meatballs had something to do with it, same with meatloaf. It get it down then about 5 mins after back up it comes it feels like it gets stuck and starts expanding

I KNOW!! Lol. Wouldn't a nice cold Coke taste sooo good? Only thing is that that your stomach would hurt so bad from the carbonation and sugar' date=' that when I look at a can, I look at it as a death wish! Ha. But I remember how I used to enjoy it and I think that's what's hard. We all miss how we used to feel about food and it has to be replaced with, hopefully, more positive things. I'm finding it hard to be really positive right now just because our eating is so limited! But I think as our diets are advanced and we start seeing big changes on the scale this will improve! At least I hope!! :) How far out are you?[/quote']

I am 8 months out. I can have a sip or two of coke....but that's it.

      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?
