I spoke to my anesthesiologist(had to consult for surgical approval) and he told me that when people are over a certain weight and have issues with their airway they will do the intubation while they are awake because their airway wouldn't be protected otherwise.
wow... Vickie, maybe they can give you some kind of local for your gag reflex. This must mean you are getting close to wls! It will all be worth it on the loosing side I am sure!

Hey Vickie
WHAT??????? That gives me the shivers just to think about it! I was so worried about the airway thing too........but I dont remember anything and I didnt even have a sore throat. Good Luck!!

Lucky you Willby. The sore throat was the worst part of my whole experience. They wouldn't let me drink anything for 1 and 1/2 days until my swallow test. My throat hurt so bad. I thought I was gonna die...not really, but, I could barely talk.
