Don't be nervous! They ask some pretty general questions and then give you an online form to fill out. Just answer honestly and you will be ok.

@@glitzandglam I guess I will see you at the group nutrition class!

I also had to get cardiac clearance. My EKG is abnormal 2 out of 3 times. I have had 4 stress tests in the last 10 years- always looks good including the echo. That works out nicely that you can get yourself in quickly! I hope that everything goes well! I understand about your BP issue being a reminder. I feel like their have been so many changes in my body in the last year- as if it is giving up. Just in the last month- BP, Diabetes and now an issue with my thyroid. I am looking forward to getting healthy! I start the liquid on Tuesday the 24th. I see him the 26th also- what time is your appointment? Mine is at 8:30 but I will be there most of the day because I have to wait around for the 2:00 group nutrition class.

I just got my surgery date- feb7! We might be in the hospital at the same time! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Your article is very informative-thank you! I am pre-op due for gastric bypass in February. I am going to have my husband read this so he will better understand what I will be doing.

That is awesome! I am waiting on insurance but they said I should be able to be scheduled the middle of February. I really like and trust Dr. Moazzez. I know you will be fine!

@@cnewbodyreno They have just submitted to insurance so now I wait. I decided to have the Gastric Bypass instead of the sleeve as I have developed diabetes and I think it will help a little more. Where are you in the process now?

@@Djmohr Thank you for always being the voice of reason. I love to read your posts. I am a couple of months away from surgery. I decided because of much that I have read here to start counseling now to begin the change in my thinking about food. I find it sad that people go through this major surgery unprepared for reality. I am grateful that I found this sight and appreciate the "tough love".
