Ok so I have my appointment with my surgeon on Nov 6th. I was told at this time he will explain the procedure and the pre op diet will start. But one thing that kinda concerns me is that his assistant says the hospital where im getting the surgery done does not require and EGD. Has anyone heard of this before. Now im even more nervous. Somebody please help me to understand. When I have been reading everyone else's post, it seems like everyone has had one. HELP!!!!

Do you have reflux? The egd is only to see if there is a hiatle hernia that would need repaired during surgery.

Will they consider changing it to private? I've been honest but not completely open about my surgery and this is closed group...which means people can still see it. Just curious. :)

Is anyone interested in a secret group on Facebook? I find FB easer to use then this app and it would be a great way to keep up with all November sleevers. Also secret groups are completely private so your FB friends will not see anything you post or even know that you are in the group.

Yes! Ill message you my name! :)

My surgeon does not require an EGD. He said that if he seems a hiatal hernia during surgery, he will fix it.

My surgeon doesn't require the EGD either. I don't have a history of reflux or heartburn so that may be why. I do know that a friend who used the same clinic but a different doctor had one fixed that they discovered while doing her surgery so I'm not worried about it. Look at it this way, it's one less out of pocket cost/hit on your insurance!

      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!!

      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.
