I’m preparing for gastric sleeve surgery and had my endoscopy today. Multiple polyps were found in my duodenum and were biopsied (photo attached). No hiatal hernia. Esophagus and stomach were normal. Has anyone else had the same results?

I saw that my primary wrote in his notes that he doubted I’d be successful with the surgery. f**k him. I’ll prove that bastard wrong.

So excited to be 8 weeks out from surgery and 8 inches are gone from my belly. I’m in size 14 pants. Started at 24. And in a large shirt. Started at 3x. I’m so blessed to have made these changes in my life.

So happy for you! Glad they caught the cancer. Did it cause any delay in the process?

I saw Dr Wiedower and Dr Glembot. Great doctors and great staff. I am 2+ months post op. I highly recommend them!!!

I believe a size 42 is a US size 12.

First orientation was 7/12/17 and the operation took place 10/20/17. Pretty quick.

Has anyone used Dr. Wiedower at the Winchester Medical Center in Virginia?

Does anyone know if losing weight after insurance approval will cause any problems with surgery coverage?

I was losing and then found out at my consultation that my BMI was too low so it's where it needs to be now but I see the surgeon tomorrow and they'll use that weight to submit to insurance. However, if approved I want to start losing before surgery but I don't want to mess things up.
