EGD revealed grade 2 reflux - dr to review file before i get scheduled for surgery

[Lap2sleeve 28]

The last step in my process to get scheduled for surgery. My gastroenterologist said nothing of concern, but the nurse said she had to point out the grade 2 reflux and get his approval before she will schedule my surgery.

Anyone else have reflux before surgery? Has anyone been denied surgery because of it?

My EGD is in the morning. I'm so afraid that this will set me back too! Did she say there's a good chance for approval?

She said she hadn't seen "grade 2" noted in a pathology or gastro test report, so she wanted the surgeon to see the report before scheduled surgery. It is my final step, so I'm anxious. I don't want to be told that I have to undergo treatment and then have another EGD and extend this another month or so. I'm ready:). Plus I haven't had any reflux since they removed my lapband on 6/20/13.

I pray your test comes back normal. My initial concern was that I might have h pylori, which would've delayed my surgery 6-8 weeks. That rest came back negative - thank God.

I pray yours isn't delayed either. I'm assuming you are converting. When is your date?
