Hi:)

Is they endoscopy they last thing you have before surgery? May I ask how bad it was for you?

Yes it's the last thing i have to complete for mine, I havent had mine yet. So im not sure how bad it is. Your sedated so i doubt its bad at all.

Endoscopy was a piece of cake. Does make your throat hurt a bit! But you wake up and feel pretty normal within an hour. (I did, anywho)

Funny I should remember this, but I had my endoscopy on October 31st. I remember it was Halloween.

Surgery turned out to be December 5th.

So...for me...about five weeks.

I have a seminar scheduled in two weeks then hopefully things will move quick. So i am at the very beginning. I also have a phone interview with a nurse that my insurance has put with me next week:)

Good deal, it will all go so fast, i started at the end of November and now near the end....or the beginning depending on how you look at it. The beginning of a new Chapter in my life i was just glad to get all my clearances. Dietian, cardio, pulmonology, psychology, my 3 monthly visits to the practitioners....and a great visit with my surgeon

I've had an endoscopy before and they sedate you. I was asleep for the whole thing. When I woke up I was coughing a lot and felt like my throat was really dry but it was all fine within 30min.
