Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

I had the EGD. I was put under and the procedure lasted about 15 from when I went under and was awoken. My boyfriend went with me. I have to recommend that you have someone drive you afterwards. The anesthesia takes a while to wear off. I remember being very, very drowsy for hours after. They ask that you don't eat or drink past midnight the night before. Before leaving they handed me a document stating that my esophagus was normal, that they found and removed 1 gastric polyp. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much!

Oh wow, you guys will be there together, won't you??

I am so excited and yet so nervous. I have never flown before and I'm doing this alone and not telling my family just a few trusted friends. I'm sooooo thankful for this thread and all the posts it really has helped ease my mind a little.

Yes we will be there for a few days together.

Yes we will be there for a couple of days together and I hope to meet you!!! My husband will be with me and neither of us have ever flew. that is our main concern. How many days is your preop diet??

I'm gonna give u my contact info so we can arrange to meet. And my diet is only 5 days but I think ima start weening myself off carbonated drinks and sugars now.

Yeah mine is 5 days also. But the day after Thanksgiving I am gonna start mine and do a 7 day. I already drink unsweeten tea with sweet n low. So the drinks won't bother me... what is gonna get me is no taters and bread. Lol. I sent u my phone number!!!! Awesomeness.
