So I got my surgery "packet" in the mail today. It was a whole 2 sheets and go me no information at all. I'm a little upset because I had to find out via mail that I need an EGD now. I specifically asked my surgeons office if I needed one and was told no and now I do. Why can't people get stuff straight?? Now I'm worried they're gonna find some freak thing on my EGD and I won't get to have the surgery.

Has anyone or can you not be able to have the sleeve done due to something on EGD?

I don't have any stomach problems or reflux unless I eat something super super spicy.

I had mine done on Tuesday. They told me after I woke up that all was normal. After I got home, they called me with the results of the punch biopsy they did and told me that I have H pylori and prescribed meds to treat it. Surgery wasn't rescheduled because of this, and although it sucks to find out that you have a medical problem, I'm glad they found it because if not treated, it can lead to serious problems later on. And, by the way, I didn't have any symptoms, no reflux at all.

Mine was completed and all was cool. Had H Pylori also and was prescribed meds. This is common and is good to have completed so they can see what your stomach looks like.

Had the EGD and it showed chronic gastritis and peptic esophagitis both from acid reflux damage, also a hital hernia adding to reflux. It can be repaired when I have the sleeve. But it's good they want o see inside your system BEFORE surgery so there are no surprises during surgery. Think of it as a safety procedure.

I had mines done a week ago and got the results back and i have a mild cause of gastritis. I was nervous at first but all was fine. had no clue what had happen at all. It is best to get done so that you will know what is going on inside of you.....i do agree to think of it as a safety procedure so it want be any surprise during surgery....Good luck

I got mine done in January about a week before my surgery. It took less then 7mins and It was done by the same dr doing my sleeve so I knew right away that everything was fine and good to go. Good luck with yours!! :-)

They found a hiatal hernia when mine was done.

I had mine done on the feb1... It was fine and normal.

The reason they do them is to verify that your anatomy is normal, you don't have any obvious ulcers, or issues from acid reflux.

This way when your surgeon goes I for surgery there are no surprises.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
