Getting very excited. Have my surgeon appointment on April 21. Can't wait.

My surgery is scheduled for August 3rd. The time cannot go by quickly enough. Would love to have someone to pen pal my way through this with. I think with the lap band I did not have enough support system. Trying to build one up for this surgery.

Right here with ya all the way! I'm in Kentucky. But love to reflect with someone also

I'm in Florida and would love to connect with you all.

My surgery will hopefully be either the end of July or beginning of August. I was actually able to schedule for the end of April, but we have two girls out on maternity leave at work so my boss couldn't justify giving me the time off. I hope she doesn't give me any issues and have excuses when I go to schedule in July.

I am on Catalina Island but my surgery will be in San Diego CA. What is ENDO?

Endoscopy. They have to look down our throats into our stomach's to make sure all is good. That way if any issues, you can get addressed in the time before surgery too.

I go Friday the 8th to my 2nd nut| psych appointment. Should get my blood work back tomorrow and letter to be off my blood thinner for a day to schedule endo

Why are some of u required to have an endo? Did you have ulcers or something?

No they get your stomach prepared for sleeve

What's a endo? nobodies told me I needed one..Does everyone need this?

I believe so. They'll tell ya at your surgeon's appointment. But I had a checklist everyone goes by from the insurance lady. Some things were added and crossed out depending on each person's ailments. Got this my first visit.

Why are some of u required to have an endo? Did you have ulcers or something?

My doctor checks h. Pylori blood levels if you've never had any issues. If that come back positive then he does an endo

I have really bad heartburn

I don't think everyone has to have endo as I never even heard of it.

No I don't have ulcers or anything. I've been told they start your sleeve, but idk
