Hi All,

I've been reading this forum for months and decided it was time to join the fun! As the title says I am having WLS tomorrow! It's a new type of surgery called Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty. Two doctors at Mayo have developed an endoscopic technique that is basically like a gastric sleeve but it's done endoscopicly with no incision. I am so excited yet nervous at the same time! Prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Prayers are coming your way! My surgery is Wednesday morning at 10:15. I'm having the sleeve through a laparoscope. I never heard of the sleeve through a endoscopy w/o any incision. Wow that should sounds great. Wish u the best and may God bless you!

@Floridagirl2 Best wishes on your surgery. Follow the plan and you'll be successful.

But remember, as soon as they'll let you, walk, walk, walk!

Best wishes to you for an uneventful surgery and recovery. I am having robotic gastric sleeve surgery tomorrow. See you on the losers bench.

Acbell288,

Prayers are coming your way too! We will both do great! I can't wait to start this new life! It will be challenging but SO worth it.

Thanks Ginger and Arlene!

Ginger, thanks for the advice, I'll take all the advice I can get being the new kid on the block!

Arlene, good luck with your surgery too... I'll see you on the other side!

Good luck, be sure to tell us all about it, especially since it's new.

good luck, and i can't wait to hear about your experiences with this new technique!

Thanks Lexie and Jessiquoi!

I'll be sure to report back on my surgery. There have been good results with this technique. It's targeted for patients whose BMI is between 30-35.

I've been a serial dieter all my life and could never keep the weight off. I've also got medical issues that could be in my future if I don't get my weight under control. When I heard about this procedure I immediately contacted Mayo and got the ball rolling. Four short months later I'm having the surgery!

Good luck!

@@Floridagirl2 Prayers are being said right now. Peace and blessings.

Thanks Justwatchme and finediva!

My surgery is fast approaching, it will be here in 19 hours(but who's counting!)

Today is my big day of surgery at 10:15 am at Osu med ctr. Thank u for all your thoughts and prayers! I Am calmer than I thought I would be. Must be the power of prayer! Update later.

Hope all went well Floridagirl2. Stop in and give us a thumbs up when you can
