Hi I have my endoscopy Tuesday June 9th then on to surgery date for end of June or beginning of July . Anyone else in San Antonio area that wants to be my sleeve buddy ?

Who is your doctor?

I am having my EGD on 6/23. Hope yours goes well. Let me know how you did. Hoping for surgery this summer here in San Antonio.

Dr. Peterson is my doctor too.

I searched out a few doctors and to me he seems to be the best. I have my endoscopy tomorrow

I agree Dr. Peterson is the best. The endoscopy should be quick. I will be thinking about you so let me know how you are when you get home

Be sure you take someone with you or they might cancel. You get moderate sedation so you can't drive yourself home. My endoscopy is 6/23. I have psychology eval. Wednesday with Dr. Raj and after the endoscopy i have everything done they can ask for approval. When are you planning surgery?

I will for sure keep you posted. The endoscopy is my last thing before asking for approval. Pre-approval has already been made so I am hoping no later then mid July or maybe sooner. My husband will be going with me so I have him by my side through all of this which is nice. However it is always wonderful to meet new friends who are on the same journey.

Oh and dr raj is awesome

Great thats good to know I have been wondering what that evaluation will be about. I am glad to hear she is nice. I am so glad to meet someone that is going through this too and at the same clinic thats amazing - its a small world.

Everything went good . It wasn't scary at all and went by quickly:)

Wow that's awesome. I was thinking about you. Glad to hear its over and one less thing on your list. 14 more days for mine. When you feel up to it let me know how long did they keep you there. have you gone to the support group session? How exciting your getting closer to the big day!

I just got my sleeve date of 7/21

Yea I have gone to support group twice now and ramp once. I believe it's a vital part of my success to come.
