Endoscopy??

[HoPe*87*]

Hi,
Not even sure how to spell endoscopy never mind what it's all about lol. My question is why don't I have to go for one I have my date for my op and the surgeon said I didn't have to have one I just went straight on to the waiting list. Not that I'm complaining I'm pleased just curious xx

I have no idea, I thought it was standard routine at SRH thats where they found I had a hernia and an infection so needed antibiotics first. Am sure there will be a reason n I wudnt complain either lol I found that worse than the op itself xx

I'm 24, I haven't had antibiotics lately. He did ask if I ever suffer from heart burn which I don't so he said there was no need for endoscopy xxx

[safc_chick]

[HoPe*87*]

At sunderland, all bypass patients have an endo but sleevers only have one if they suffer from heart burn as they may have to have a bypass instead - thankfully my endo was fine so can still have a sleeve.

Not long now hun x

I'm having a wrap and we have to go through with one

Damn private clinic, I had to choose the one I felt safe with that insists on 50billion damn tests

Really not looking forward to having that shoved down my throat...

U have done the right thing tho if I was private I'd choose the one with the most tests to coz u knw there doing there job right then! I would have liked the wrap but NHS don't do it so I'm getting the sleeve. Where and when are u getting ur op? Xx

To be honest the pre op diet doesn't seem to bad. I've put myself through a lot worse trying to lose weight. Just nervous about the op and the hospital stay I hate being away from home. Doesn't help that my other half is even more nervous than I am!! Xx

LOL that's so true, some of the diets I've tried have been horrendous. I've been having slimfast for lunch and yogurt for lunch to try to have a practice run but I think I'll do ok when the time comes - hopefully!

I'm scared of being put under the anaesthetic but otherwise I'm just so excited to start my new life!

My hubby is the most laid back person (always glass half-full) so he's not worried thankfully but he works away so he's more concerned how I'll cope post-op with 2 kids. However, I have the most amazing Mum so I know it will be fine x

My other half is a worrier he's been looking it up on the net and seeing horror stories!! Doesn't see all the positives tho. He is supporting me tho.

I just want to skip the op the liquids and purée stage and go back to eating normal but smaller portions. Wishful thinking lol x

I think the worst diet I was on must have been Cambridge I could only stomach the milk shakes so I lived on 3 of those a day for 2 months. Pre op should be a doddle xxxx
