Mlilwood are you talking abt the endoscopy by chance? I was asleep for mine so no problem. But was really sore in my chest and back next day

Its a barium swallow. You swallow the most thickest barium first, than quickly swallow this poprock type stuff too blow up your stomach, than swallow a thinner barium... all of which is very nasty... because your trying no to throw all this stuff up, because if the poprocks. All while your doing this they're taking pictures of your esophagus and stomach. My opinion, this test it the worst... next to lumbar punture or spinal tap.

I understand now. Hadn't heard anyone describe. My daughter had a colostomy as a baby and this was one if the tests. Unfortunately sat up like concrete in her. Lil. But that's also been 25 years ago.

Never had an LP. That sounds awful too.

Hey everyone, I am a September Sleever too. I had the Band. Just had it taken out two days ago. Can't wait to revise to the sleeve...have to do a 3 month supervised diet with my doctor's nutritionist for my insurance. I already got the clearances I need from a psychologist and therapist. I have an appointment in a week with my primary care to get a letter from him. I can't wait for September to be here!

I survived the sleep study last night, worst thing ever. Can't stand restrictions on movement and things by my face, especially my nose. Finally got my surgery date. Monday August 10th. Last Nutritional visit on 7/10 then submitting to insurance for approval. I'm really excited.

Had my 2nd of 4 appointments with my PCP yesterday and I gained 1.7 lbs. :'(. The situation I'm in makes this so difficult! I can't lose weight or I'll get denied but I definitely don't want to gain. I feel like I'm over thinking and stressing which makes me want to eat more!! I just want to maintain. Sorry, I'm just venting in hopes that someone on here can relate and maybe give some advice???

I am hoping for November. I know what you mean, it is always in my mind and I find my mind wandering back to it even when I am busy with something and engrossed in it. Best of luck! I will enjoy reading your journey.

Hi! I believe I will be having surgery in September. Not sure how it works for other surgeons but my plan goes like this..I just had my first appointment last week with him. We did pre-op blood work and scheduled all my appointments for barium swallow, sleep study, 2 appointments with a nutritionist, one appointment with a psychiatrist and then they submit it to insurance. They said my insurance takes about a week to approve and then we schedule 2 weeks out or so from there for the surgery. So it definitely sounds like mid-late September. I am so anxious to get this process going. Afraid to lose weight because I'm only a BMI of 35.6 right now but I do have comorbidities.

I do not have to do a sleep study because I don't have sleep apnea. Or at least that's how my Dr decides who needs one.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
