These last 24 hours have been crazy. For some who might remember back in September I was diagnosed with Barretts and told I could either have rny or find a new surgeon who would still do the surgery. Well I got a second opinion and I do not have Barretts! The test was wrong. My Dr called me at 8pm last night at home to discuss and said I could have the surgery.

So I went from probably not having it to they submitted my case to insurance today!

Wow I'm a mixed bag of emotions right now!!!!

I just had to share with you all. I will hopefully be sleeved by the end of the year. Woohoo.

CONGRATS!! idk what Barretts is, but I'm glad you don't have it! Fingers crossed for a speedy acceptance. :}

I was diagnosed with Barrett's prior to my sleeve, though my surgeon was not intimidated by it. Also, what he found was not a full blown inflammation. I'm glad that your diagnoses was a fluke! Unfortunetly, it runs in my family.

Yeah my barbaric surgeon said Barretts is a contraindication for the sleeve and he wouldn't do it and won't do it for anyone that has it. He is a great guy and I really wanted him to perform mine. So when all his happened I of course was so excited

But now I'm also scared lol. It's all so real now.

This is great news! CONGRATS to you!

Thanks :-)

So glad you don't have Barrets and your journey continues, best of luck!

You'll be fine!! After I made it through the rough Patches, I can 100% say it is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm still in the middle of my journey. You will hit rough spots, and you will question several times in the first couple of months right after the famous question, "What the hell have I done?!" But, when everyone on here tells you, "It gets better." They really mean that. It does, and it will. I'm reminding myself that right now as I go through the last scary thing I hope I face, which is the scary hairloss. I'm 2 months into it, hoping this month I see it slow down or stop. Congratulations!!
