Endoscopy scheduled Monday but sick as a dog!



Recommended Posts

My endoscopy is scheduled Monday but I have a horrible sinus infection. I'm not on any antibiotics for it. I have to drive three hours to the hospital, one way. If I am sick when I get there, will they reschedule my procedure? It's not like its a very invasive, a light down my throat. I don't want them to cancel it whether I call and tell them or if I go and they cancel it themselves. I wouldn't think it would be a big issue but I don't know....

Hi there again, I would call them and let them decide, what a long drive for them to just tell you that you will need to reschedule. I have had this done, not for the surgery but for other reasons. If you have anthing that affects your breathing they usally won't do it. Good luck

Have you ever been scoped before? Trust me you won't want to have this procedure while you're sick. I would reschedule.

Yes but it was in 1999 and I don't recall much about it....

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
