Hey guys got my surgery date yesterday after meeting with the surgeon here in Michigan! My day is November 18! Started my 2 week preop diet but today I have to get an EGD done on my tummy as a precaution...anyone else have to get this procedure done?

Yup.

Sure did. The surgeon that did my sleeve wanted to be the one who did the EGD.

It was a breeze.

I scheduled for early in the morning. Fasted after 10:30pm.

Arrived there at 6:15am.

They had me bag in the room in just a few minutes.

It was like taking a really nice nap. A non-event.

I was instructed to have a driver due to the anesthesia meds.

No problems.

Ok I'm scheduled for this afternoon @ 1p and haven't eaten dice midnight.

The same for me with the surgeon she's doing the procedure as well.

Thanks for the info! Feel a bit more at ease ????

My EGD was done at a hospital close to home since my surgeon is an hour away. It was not really so bad but since I was at a hospital that doesn't do bariatric stuff, the machine was almost too small for me to fit. They had to lay me down and have me move around and turn to get the barium to coat my stomach. It was weird.

Let us know how yours goes.

It was a very simple procedure, literally all of 10 minutes for her to scope and review me she said.

It took longer prepping me for the procedure because it was hard to get an IV started for me (nothing new)

I would for sure prefer an early morning spot if I had to ever do it again because my sugar was super low from not eating for so long.

Everything came out to be perfect and no issues so I'll be sleeved November 18th as planned! So excited!

Thanks again guys on the insight

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
