Hello everyone. I am scheduled to be sleeved on 6/26. I've started my diet and thought everything was going well. I had my pre-op appointment with the surgeon and bloodwork at the hospital yesterday. During that appointment, I was told I needed an EGD which is scheduled for Monday. That's only 8 days from surgery! I'm so worried that they will find something that will push surgery back. It's a big deal because my insurance is changing on 7/1 and won't cover bariatric surgery the same way so surgery will end up costing about $5k more if it's delayed. My biggest concern is h. pylori and if I'll have to do the two week antibiotic regimen prior to sugery. UGH. I am so incredibly anxious and disappointed to have this thrown at me at what seems like the last minute.
