  2. Thank you so much. When I had my sigmoidoscopy last week he did ask what the recovery time was for the gastric sleeve so I am thinking he MAY be considering clearing me. But I definately cannot fit in the machine. I don't know that there is any alternative. But I am running out of time with my tests, because they are only good for a certain amount of months. And if they run out my insurance will not pay for them again. I am trying to be positive, but I'm losing hope.
  3. I have had all my tests and every one of them came back fine and all of the doctors have cleared me for surgery except the gastroenterologist. He will not clear me without an MRI and I cannot fir into the machine. Does anyone have any suggestions of hoe I can get the clearance?
