A lot happened today, I had my final surgical clearance with my surgeon. He confirmed I have Hiatal hernea that will require a repair while doing my VSG. Also stated I had H Plyorie infection and would be on antibiotic regiment for 14 days. My insurance sent my notice I was APPROVED!!! Then I got my SURGERY DATE October 20, 2014!!!!!! One happy camper...

Well today was my EDG procedure. My doc said all went well. Scope time was all of 4 minutes. I read over the report later after I had a clearer head and it said they did do a biopsy but he said they almost always do. It also said I had a Hiatus Hernia. I was hoping that i did not have one of those. It seems folks have pain longer when they have to do VSG and Hernia repair if that will be required. I have my surgical clearance on 9/25/14 and will find out then. I should also learn my surgical date then too and will hopefully start my 14 day liquid diet . I have it ordered and will pick up on 25th.

Hello: yearly and monthly teams are already been set up. Click on the top main tab for FORUMS Then click on Gastric Sleeve link Go down to Monthly Sleeve Surgery Group Go down and select 2014 then select October 2014 sleevers Then start new thread or post to the old ones

Good Luck and will say a special prayer for you and your medical team..

I got my medical clearance and submitting to insurance!! I have probably only about 30 days or less now!!

I go to Kent General in Dover and I think they have one in Milford. Do a goggle search for Bariatric Support group in "your town"..

Well I got my cardiology clearance today, and will be doing blood work in the morning. Surgical Clearance appointment on Sept 10th should be no problem now. Then they should submit to insurance and give me my date. WhoooHoooo.

You may want to check with your insurenece and surgen because some may require a time period of complient use ie. like on the CPAP for 2 weeks or 30 days to see if is working and you will weare it. You will need to bring it to surgery with you for you recovery time at hospital. I have used it for 15 years.

I got my chest xray eval and Pulm Function Clearence another step Down!!

Wow, your wait is over! Mine gets closer everyday. Best of Luck on your Journey.

Wow, Great you day is getting close. I know you are getting excited, but keep us informed on your jouney.

I was borned and raised in WV, but live in Delaware now. I still have family there, and it will always be home to me!

No surgery yet, August is full of appts, Should get Medical clearance on Sept 10th.

Welcome, how has your Journey been so far?

Welcome Becca, Dr. Peters is going to be my surgeon, I think you will like him too. So please keep us posted on how you are doing now that you are comfortably sitting on the looser bench!

I hoping for surgery around October 2014 time frame. Time is sarting to really speed up!

Hi Tiffany, you are right it did go fast for me too, and seems like speed is picking up now even more.

Amy, Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EDG) is basicly a scope that goes down into your stomach to look on the insided to make sure there is nothing going on prior to surgery. Some folks may have to have a Biopsy performed. This is usually required by most surgerons prior to VSG. I have to be cleared by a pulmnologist, because I have had sleep apena for a long time. Please chat away if you have other questions that is what this site is for. Just keep in mind though Docs vary greatly in what they require plus we are all different!
