I have been working with True Results in Houston. I am getting surgery under the HH plan they offer. I got my blood work and EGD done. I have a small hiatal hernia. I was cleared for surgery and then I got a call today that True Results now has a new requirement for the surgery under the HH plan. They require that patients be on prescription heartburn medication prior to surgery. So I have to go on heartburn meds and have a follow up with the surgeon before they will clear me for surgery. Apparently insurance companies have been denying claims because patients were not on prescription heartburn meds prior to surgery. I am so frustrated! I have taken OTC Prilosec and other OTC acid reflux meds and my heartburn and acid reflux never goes away. Ugh!

This is my first time posting to this forum. I am looking at getting gastric sleeve done the end of September. I have about 120 lbs to lose. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and severe sleep apnea. I need this surgery! So frustrated!

The meds should only be 8 days its 3 perceptions. Did they say you had acid in your intestine I forget the name. I had to go thur the same thing if that's the case.

When I had the EGD done The photos showed I had redness and irritation. They removed a polyp from my stomach. I am just scared my surgery won't get approved.

Also, I don't think I have h pylori. At least they did not say I tested positive for it.

      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.
