Would you mind saying why? Thanks.

I don't have my date yet, but I should have it in a week or so. I'm pretty sure it will be November. I just received my approval from the insurance today...it only took 6 days (and that is including the weekend!!).

Today was my upper endoscopy... The gi doctor says I have gastritis.. Just my luck! Guess this will push my surgery datr even further than expected

I also have gastritis but they didn't say it would delay anything.

I had that he gave me nexium it cleared it up in 30day because once u have surgery that would make your healing much harder and longer but I was rescheduled I was mad at first

I hope my surgery doesnt get delayed but if its done it'll prob be for the better so I can heal correctly. I want whatever is safest and better i guess I can wait 30 more days if I have to lol

I am new to the site. I am scheduled for RNY Nov 5th. Since going to a support group/pre op class on Sat I have been really excited. It seems close but still far away at times.

I also have gastritis but they didn't say it would delay anything.

Did they tell you right away? I had my upper GI, but have not heard anything. Thought I would find out at surgeon appt on Nov 1, but kidney specialist did approve me. So curious how you found out so soon?

I am new to the site. I am scheduled Nov 5th. The hospital is 1 hr 40 mins away and my arrival time is 5:30 so I am checking into a hotel 2 weeks from today in order to settle in and start my bowel prep. I am really getting excited now after attending a pre op class and tour. I go in one week for my pre op visit with the surgeon, meet anesthesia, and meet with nutritionist again. I can't believe I am only 2 weeks away....

Well today I got my upper endoscopy they took samples for biopsy but the nurse when they were gettin ready to discharge me said everything looked good except for mild gastritis. When i have my results on the 28th I guess is when I find out if it will delay my surgery or not. If you did it you shoulf have got your results back within a week. That the time frame they gave me. So idk unless your gi doctor is majorly swamped or on vacation
