I have my EGD tomorrow morning. I am a little nervous about it because I have had a nasty stomach flu for the last week, and I'm worried they will see something that will delay my surgery approval. Did anyone have an EGD where they found something abnormal? Did it affect your surgery date?

They found I had Barrett's. It didn't stop surgery. They did a biopsy of a small piece they removed. All was clear, but I have to go back in one year. If you're going for the sleeve (I wasn't, I was getting gastric bypass), then will most likely switch you to the bypass, but it looks like from your profile, you're already doing that. You should be fine.

Thanks! I think at this point I'm just worried that something, anything, will get in the way and stop my surgery. I am just ready to be done already. The EDG went fine, they said everything looked healthy and they were going to submit me to insurance for my surgery approval. Hopefully I'll have my surgery date here in a few weeks! I think I must have just had a nasty stomach bug. For anyone who gets those, I cannot recommend drinking hot ginger tea enough. It seriously cleared the bug up in 24 hours, and it was a natural remedy rather than medication. Just an FYI to anyone reading this
