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?

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
