  1. my mother is having the bypass done as well on august 3rd (my original date) she has clearance because she already had the endoscopy done.
  2. they said it would either be endoscopy or stool sample that the insurance would require to ensure no bacteria before actual clearance. (sorry if thats TMI)
  3. i have health first insurance, ive been in preparation for 6 months. they want me for an endoscopy to check for bacteria or infections in my stomach. they told me they cant guarantee my new surgery date which is my main reason for frustration. i have pcos so its extremely hard to lose weight even with the liquid diet, i lost 8 pounds but they want me to lose more since im young.
  4. my surgery date was set to be August 3rd. yesterday, less than two weeks before the procedure, I was told that it was going to be moved since i never did an endoscopy and i havent been losing weight as they wanted to see. im heart broken and frustrated.
