Yesterday I had a four hour test done at my local hospital, called gastric emptying study. It was the last thing I had to do before I could have my results visit with my doctor. When I find out that I must a a follow us visit with the doctor who ordered the test I really feel some type of way, and the fact that the appointment is two weeks away really makes me upset !! I'm just so ready to pick my surgery date and get insurance approval.

I had to have an EGD that was a suprise to me. Really thought I wouldn't have to have GI clearance. Then I was to follow up in two weeks. I asked at the time of scheduling the EGD if I could come in earlier, as we are on a time crunch trying to get everything done before our insurance changes. They let me come in in one week as the results would be ready. I waked out of the one week follow up with my GI clearance inhand. That was Yesterday and they submitted to my insurance today. Don't let this get you down.

It's not a setback. Ask if they will have results earlier than two weeks. They may let youdo 7-10 days depending on how long that doc needs for results from radiologist.

OMG, Thank You for telling me to call !! I called and they said no they don't have to wait two weeks and the results were actually on his desk and I just did it yesterday !! But they squeezed me in on Monday .. I'm super happy right now .. And I was kind of down before ..

Good for you! So glad that worked and you won't have to wait so long. Everything has started falling into place really quickly for me. If insurance approves me, I'll be done in October. A few weeks ago, I thought it would be after the first of the year! Yay, US!

Yay !! That's really good .. I really want to have it done before the first of the year as well .. Hopefully everything moves swiftly from here on out !! Have you started any exercise , or tried a liquid diet or anything like that ?

Just doing some walking and bike riding. No special diet really. Watching carbs and especially bread but that's about it. My doctors office doesn't require a pre-op diet. I may do one myself for a week before just for my own benefit. Hopefully I will get my surgery date this coming Thursday. Fingers crossed!

That's good !! I really need to start doing a little exercise because I don't want to be so much to try and do fresh out of a surgery. Because going from no exercise to needing to do that like two to three times a week plus only drinking liquids could really be a lot to handle at once.
