Tulip4me 15 Posted February 5, 2017 I finally got my surgery approved by Insurance. This has been a long process from having H Pylori on my EGD with two rounds of treatment to getting my family to support my decision. But I'm almost there with getting the time off from work to have my surgery on 3/16/2017. Reading all the post on here and seeing all the pictures make me want to hit my goal hard and stay in check. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 1 tamara2333 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tulip4me 15 Posted February 5, 2017 I had to have a sleep study, an EGD, see psych for clearance. Of course seeing a nutrition specialist 3 times. My EGD showed that I had a H Pylori and have been treated with two different course of medicine. Which are no fun.

Tulip4me 15 Posted February 5, 2017 I started the process in September. Mainly it's been the H Pylori that kept postponing the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimber111 4 Posted February 27, 2017 You sound like me. I had to have similar stuff done and started this Journey in December. I just had a endoscopy a couple days ago and have a hernia in my stomach and irritation so now am on two meds. One more appointment with the doc and hopefully will get a date for surgery soon.
