Will stomach infection stop my approval



Recommended Posts

I had my endoscope done found had some gastritis and put on meds. Then ultrasound or together they showed a stomach infection, was put on two different antibiotics for 14days. I hope it is gone. Wonder if they will retest me to see if it is better. Do you thing or did you have an infection, what was the results? Did you pass for surgery?

I had gastritis and h pylori. The gastritis they said they could treat after the surgery but since they had to treat the other they treated both. I wasn't able to be cleared then due to other reasons but they said they couldn't submit to insurance until I was cleared.

I had severe ulcers in my esophagus and had to be retested after meds to be cleared. I don’t think you’ll be cleared with ANY type of active infection in your body. You’ll have to treat and retest i think.

That's what I was thinking

Have you took care of the situation that they were concerned with? Are you close or still not able to pursue?

I did the antibiotics which took two weeks and then I had to wait a couple more weeks before retesting. I was negative and then cleared. I had my surgery done on 6/6.

All they wanted was the negative test results and then I was cleared with that.

I've actually been real good. I've had no problems drinking/eating. Only a few gas pains and pain in general.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
