Great news @@DuchessD!! Wish you all the best!! Hopefully I will know my results by dec 1st

Congratulations rmckellips, emmuje875 and mommabird!!!! Good luck to you all

My surgery date is set for December 30th! I just have to wait in my biopsy results on the h pylori. I'm so hoping they come back negative!

Hi everyone! I got my surgery date today: December 30! Now I just have to wait on my biopsy results and I'm praying they come back negative for h pylori. I'm really excited and nervous!

Oh and I don't have another egd scheduled yet just waiting to hear results from biopsies. The thing is during my last egd he was sure I had the h pylori and this time he couldn't tell, just told me my stomach still looked red and irritated.

@@ga_kathy it took only 3 business days to be approved by insurance. We submitted on Friday nov 14 and I called them yesterday and they told me I had been approved on Wednesday nov 19. Thanks for your prayers they are so appreciated!

@@coastalchick I'll definitely be following your advice! You're going to do great! Next year will be our year to shine!!

@@mommy2jab congrats!

Yay!!!

@@blackonynx if you decide to give them a try, just keep track of any side effects you think you might be having and discuss them with your doctor. You just have to weigh the pros and cons but ultimately you've got to do what's best for you

@@leemcel I don't have a date yet but I was approved by Cigna this week I have to wait until Dec 1st to hear back from my Dr about h pylori bacteria in my stomach. If I still have it I will have to do another round of antibiotics and won't get my surgery this year. The important thing is to get rid of that so I don't have any complications. If it comes back clear, I'll be able to get my December date. Just have to wait and see, and pray for good news!

But I was approved by Cigna this week so if the h pylori is gone I'm all set

Yay! Hope it all works out, looks like you'll be good for December Dr found the H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach during my first EGD and I went on the antibiotics for 2 weeks. I just had my repeat EGD this morning and he said my stomach still looks pretty red. He took some biopsies but I guess it's not looking good for me, I might have to try stronger antibiotics. I'm praying for good news but the important part is that I get rid of this before I have my surgery, so if I have to wait until next year I'll be ok with it.

I still don't have my date yet, waiting for approval from insurance. Hoping I hear back by my bday nov29!

Wow Irina! That's going to be one fabulous start to the new year!!! Congrats!
