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

Did they do an ultra sound as well?

I have to go back Friday for ultrasound

No they didn’t. Did they say what the ultrasound is for? Gallbladder?

Probably gall bladder but also to determine the general shape of your stomach. Most people's don't vary that much, but it's always good to know. See the EGD tells the inner anatomy,of your digestive system, this would alert,them if you're built a little differently. God made each of us a little differently, he didn't just,pour us into a mold and let us harden there.😛 Peace- Joy- and Love Everyone!

Found my Fundoplication has come undone, my hiatal hernia is worse & my esophagus is L shaped now & that’s why food is getting stuck when I eat! So even though my BMI is 35 I had a medical reason to have a bypass. Once they go in there they saw that 1/2 of my stomach was involved in the hernia!

I was told it was a mass but it didn’t think it was cancerous I got a call yesterday they still need further testing with the ultrasound

Yay! I've been checking your thread hoping for the best. It's always so nerve-wracking when they come back and say "we need to do more testing" etc. So glad you're in the clear! Less than a month to surgery :D

Wow, that is always a scary situation!! Glad all is well!!

For me they found the hernia I had been complaining about for over a year and kept getting told I don't have one! I finally accepted I was crazy and didn't know what I was talking about then Lo and Behold I'm actually not crazy at all and do have one! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
