Hi everyone! I've been reading the posts here for awhile now and have decided to join the party. I just completed my last requirement (psych eval) this Monday so I'm hoping my paperwork is submitted to my insurance this week. I meet with my dietician tomorrow so I'm sure she'll be able to give me an update. They told me as soon as they hear back from the insurance co. they will call to set up my EGD and then I'm a go for surgery. Excited and scared all at the same time.

So can anyone tell me how bad the EGD is? That part has me freaked out right now..lol

Hello---what an exciting time--surgery will be here before you know it. I can tell you that the sleeve is the best thing I've ever done for myself-I definitely have no regrets. As far as the endoscopy, that was the one step that freaked me out the most. I can honestly say that I panicked over nothing. I was out during the procedure and didn't remember any of it once I woke up. So relax and enjoy this journey that you are on!. Lisa

Thank you for your response! I met with my dietician and they already have my psych eval report and it is being reviewed and then submitted to insurance! They told me they would "put me out" for the EGD so I wasn't sure if that meant really out or just sedation. Getting excited!
