Things are moving along for me quickly. I go Tuesday morning for the scope (dreading), and then I have 1 more visit with surgeon, nutrition, exercise guy, and counselor. Also a visit with my family doc for surgery clearance. Then it's submit to insurance and hopefully show time. I'm hoping for March 7 because I'm a teacher and want to use spring break for recovery. I'm excited still but my nerves are beginning to try and get to me. I've been trying to read everything I can about the surgery and potential complications. I came across a very disturbing blog from someone who is so anti-bariatric surgery and talks a lot about post-bariatric surgery syndrome, etc. and it also talks negatively about long term health and results. I wish I hadn't seen all that but I'm trying to be open to all the positives and negatives to be prepared. I'm worried also about the 2 week diet. I know I can do it I just don't want to be mean to everyone because I'm starving lol. Just checking in with everyone and I look forward to being on the other side of this!

There is nothing to dread about your EDG. They will give you a light sedative and next thing you know you will be wondering when things are going to start even though you are already done.

My EDG is scheduled for Friday good luck!

EGD done. No problem whatsoever! Glad that it's behind me and only 1 more visit until I can get the big day scheduled.
