My doctor has us do 1 week liquids post off then two of pure/soft food. I had a visit with him 1 week after surgery and since i've had no issues he told me i don't need to see him for four months. seems like so long -
my doctor allows mashed potatoe.... very ver minimal but its on the list. another friend told me she couldn't have that for 6 months? curious what other doctors said.

that's why i figured my friends doctor said no. I was just curios as to why i could have it. so many doctors have so many different rules

thank you all! glad to here you're doing well also! If i hadn't lost 12lbs so far i'd be convinced nothing was done haha but I'm counting my blessings

did anyone HAVE to get sleep apnea screening before their surgery?
-
guess ill find out. surgery scheduled for 10/18 and i see my PCP for Medical clearance on 9/25 just hope it doesn't postpone surgery.
-
No she didn't say i needed to. And my surgeon doesn't require it he just n needs the EKG done too i guess i'll see what happens i have an appointment for the ekg with my primary. i guess if she's not ok with me not getting the sleep study done she won't give me a letter of medical clearance.
-
I dont have to see pulmonary. I guess that why i'm worried shell make me do that too. guess i'll find out. my surgeon only requires an EKg for clearance and the endoscopy.
-
my Primary mentioned at my last visit that i might want to do it INSTEAD of surgery. she thinks thats why i am over weight. my endocrinologist and surgeon disagree with her. my surgeon is only requiring an EKG and bloodworm for clearance but i am afraid my PCP will not hold me up =(

Thursday will be the 90 days i needed to hit prior to surgery for insurance. Now that I can set surgery date, I'm freaking out that this is all happening. needing some positive stories or tips !
