Post upper endoscopy question

I am currently doing all of my preoperative stuff. Friday I had my upper endoscopy. It showed mild gastritis, hiatal hernia, and gastroporesis. I have no symptoms for these issues. Would any one of these stop my surgery? I'm worried that I will have to wait. If anyone else had these on your exams I would appreciate any information and/or support. This was the last thing I had to do, and I'm really worried that it could screw up scheduling my surgery!

Thanks for letting me vent/worry with all of you,

Don't know about the gastroporesis but the others will be corrected with the surgery. I had a hiatal hernia as well as an abdominal hernia repaired.

Thanks, I was really worrying about all of these problems.  I was reading up on the gastroparesis and it says that taking antidepressants can also cause this.  I happen to take that for anxiety, so hopefully that is what is causing it.
