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 :-)

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
