I just talk to my insurance company and I'm so happy my surgery was approved today. I'm currently waiting for my surgeons bariatric coordinator to call me back with my date. I'm so excited.

      Congratulations. Be patient because the journey can seem like it is never ending. I finally finished all my requirements and have received my surgery date.

      I chose the RNY because I have GERD and it's the best procedure for patients with reflux. Plus I figured since I was doing it, I want the classic procedure.

    what is GERD?!

    I have to do an upper GI test..is that part of it?

    They're gonna do a scope on you. You will be sleep. It's a Upper endoscopy, also known as EGD, is a procedure in which a thin scope with a light and camera at its tip is used to look inside the upper digestive tract -- the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.

    That's how I found out as well.
