I have had an endoscopy and it's a breeze. They set you up with an IV that contains a very mild anesthetic to help you sleep and the entire procedure takes about 20 minutes or so. You won't even remember being on the table. You may have a bit of a scratchy/sore throat from the endoscopy tube but other than that you won't have any issues at all. You can do this! :)

When are you getting yours done? It's a piece of cake the longest part is getting admitted and prepped the procedure itself is 5-10 min

I have my endoscopy on Friday and I'm nervous. Left is the CPAP install and the chest X-ray. They really make you jump through hoops! Still haven't scheduled my sleeve. Next appt is March12 for the psych and nutritionist. Everyone else seems to be moving along so fast! It feels so slow for me

Don't get discouraged or impatient your time will come and it's meant just for you. This is a big life change so you can never be too prepared. I will admit I felt like you some days, I started my sleeve process in December and here I am 12 days away from surgery. So hang in there my fellow sleever :-)

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
