Docs also want to see if you have any ulcers, gastritis etc.

they can find an array of things which will help in determining which surgery you have and how they perform the surgery and to treat issues prior to surgery

For the sake of the surgery, they are typically looking for, as above, signs of damage from GERD (acid reflux), gastritis, esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus (precursors to cancer of the esophagus), H. Pylori infection or ulcers - things that directly impact the surgery or choice of procedure - or any masses or polyps that may be cancerous or pre-cancerous (which are really nice to find early, if you are going to find them!)

Usually takes about a week for pathology results (give or take a few days).

They found H. Pylori and I can’t stop thinking about how the heck would I have ever gotten treatment for it had I not been trying to get surgery because I felt perfectly fine. On another note there’s nothing to worry about even if they do find anything like an ulcer a hernia an infection or whatever it won’t delay your surgery they’ll treat it or fix it while they do your Bariatric surgery. You’ll be ok [emoji108]

Some things? H. Pylori, GERD, gastritis, and a duodenal ulcer.

I thought I was fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m hoping. When he said it doesn’t look cancerous but we need to make sure I still get cold I don’t have symptoms either

They found I had a hiatal hernia which will be fixed during the surgery.

They found mild gastritis on mine. My surgeon said everything else looked good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
