November 7th in Cincinnati, Ohio but live in NKY.... but getting the ESG

Had my final pre-op bloodwork, ekg and education class. Plus paid in full......november 1st is a go! So excited. Still very nervous. Cannot wait to be healthy and happy again.

I get my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous! I think the closer my surgery date everything is sinking in: THIS IS HAPPENING! Checked in with my insurance (Cigna) today and it's still pending. It was submitted 10/17 so it's only been 4 business days. Going to follow up on Friday. Can anyone send some kind words for tomorrow? Getting weirdly emotional towards the end of the pre-op journey [emoji85]

Endoscopy is a breeze!! You will not remember anything at all. When you wake up you will have a little sore throat. That's all. I am a week out from surgery and on liquid diet.... this has been a challenge but you just keep the goal in mind and you can do this....all of this. Good luck to you!

@CamillaCallieyou will be fine. You will be in and out within a half hour. We almost there. The wait and all the hard work is about to pay off. You started your diet today how is that going so far.

Thank you and you were right, it was fine and everything came back normal. My diet actually starts Thursday! How's yours coming along so far

Sorry I misunderstood - you're 1 week away from surgery! How exciting!!!

@CamillaCalliethe diet suck point blank. I kind of like the chocolate shakes so that's what I drink all day. Maybe I will add a popsicle. I can't wait until this is over.

I started my pre-op VLCD a couple days early, just cause I have a lot of weight to lose and really need to shrink my liver down for surgery. Went with option 1 (see pic) and, jeez, I gotta say this is a pretty expensive diet. Shakes are so expensive!

I drink four a day (two SlimFast and two Premier), plus one cup of jello and one small dinner of 3 oz of meat with 1 cup of veggies. I like having my meals basically planned for me, so I'm finding this to be mostly pretty easy. I still dream of pizza and cheeseburgers lol but I've made peace with the fact that I've eaten more than enough junk for ten lifetimes and don't need it anymore.

@bogglesaucei wish I could my choice on what I can have for my diet, but my Dr office provide all my meals that I can have for two weeks and I only can have what they give me besides jello and popsicles.

@BabyFat23 you're almost there!!! <3
