It was a really simple procedure, I was fitted with an IV and gowned next thing I know I was walked through to the surgery room. They set you up, Make you put this mouth piece in, take deep breaths and you're OUT!...Honestly, Best Nap ever..

I think I was under for a whole 30-40min that was it!

My husband came in with our daughter around 12:30 and tried convincing me I had been in a coma for 6 years LOL. He thinks he's funny/clever... :lol:

Your husband does sound funny! That was pretty much the same procedure for me. My BP was up at first, I think I was more nervous than I expected to be, but a lot of the people who were near me were actually patients of my Surg as well so I had someone to talk to for a couple minutes after I woke up. :)

That nap was great I wanted to take some home with me.

Does everyone get one?? There's been no mention of that to me and I'm 16 days away

Everyone does not get one. I had to get one and others have for different reasons, but they are definitely not required for all patients.

No they didn't give me anything for it.

I'm assuming it was my own doing really, I ate hot wings the night before lol.

lol I had a similar conversation with my surgeon. He came into the recovery area to show me the pictures he took and said, "Everything looked good. You have a little gastritis (inflammation) in a couple spots but it won't affect anything." I said, "Well that makes sense, I had Taco Casa for dinner last night." He said, "Yep, that's it!" and left. haha

I have mine scheduled for July 1st. I am really nervous they asked me a bunch of questions like I was gonna die. Apparently I have to pick up a secret beige phone when I get there to tell them I'm ready for surgery lol

Just had mine this morning. I also had a colonoscopy done at the same time. I was having having anemia problems and my gastro doctor ordered both. My surgeon requires the EGD so instead of having it done twice in less than 2 weeks, he will accept my gastro's report. The EGD is nothing to worry about. You don't feel anything while they are doing it. When I woke up I had a little cough that was gone in less than an hour. They asked my tons of questions about my past medical history before hand. It only took about 45 mins for both tests.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
