I checked off another requirement today!! Woot! I had an endoscopy today with my surgeon. It was rather easy but as the day has gone on my throat is getting more and more sore. Drinking lots of COLD H2O is helping.

I also spoke to my patient advocate who let me know that we are a go for Dec 2019 (that’s month 6 so I was scared we wouldn’t get it in- it trying to rush the process but want to make the most of the whole “deductible” thing) Woot! I am to call in November to get a date but it’s starting to feel real!!

Anyone else get giddy when they check off something on the pre-op list or am I just being a nerd? Soo ready for this to be behind me!!

Yes it's a great feeling and getting closer everyday ?

Definitely. I am done with ALL of my pre-op, including the last appointment with the surgeon and then the anesthesiologist today. It is getting real. Nine days to go.

I do the endoscopy a week before the RNY surgery. Can’t wait to check that off. I am quite nervous. Never have been put under for anything and now it will happen 2 times in one week.

Had 14 so far in My Life, NBT- No Big Thing Just something that is a Pit Stop on your Surgical Road- Think you'll Do Just Fine like all of Us Did!

yes I did mine beginning of September and yes it felt good to have this done off my checklist and it made it feel like this is

really going down . I am very excited for November 11 to come. That's my surgery date.. Anyone else has that date?

did you take the whole day off of work for your EDG? Mine is next week and I'm trying to anticipate what to expect.

I just had my EDG Monday. Was sedated for it, and slept most of the day afterwards.
