if there was something found in endoscopy would the GI doctor let me know i can't do surgery

i recently did my endoscopy and i'm assuming there wasn't anything major found since there were no followup appts to be made. but would the GI doctor have told me if i wasn't able to do the sleeve surgery right then and there ?

They will let you know once they have the results of the biopsy (if they did one). I'm not sure what from the results would exclude you from WLS. I would think all that would be there is, either they need to repair a hernia (if they find one) while doing the WLS, you have to take antibiotics for H Pylori prior to WLS, or if you have bad signs of reflux they may limit your WLS to a bypass.

But, I am not clinical, so I would double check what I am saying with your surgical coordinator.
