(boo). i am going to call today and hound the front desk to get me a surgery date. they originally said beg to mid feb.... i am so ready! when is your surgery date? Kelly -

wow i am way bummed. i have to go for a sleep test on tuesday night. complete with overnight stay and creepy cameras and wires... i am not looking forward to that. i finished all my pre op tests and was given some things to start doing. i.e. cutting way down on coffee and chewing longer. i have to make my meals last twenty mins. no date yet. they said the lady that books the surgery was not in so i have to call tomorrow. keep your fingers crossed for me! -
OMG i have to take the sleep test on tuesday night! NO WAY! That sucks... uuuuuuugh. For me the pre op was a stress test. I had to put a mask on a ride a bicycle with a bunch of wires hooked up to me. It was pretty tiring. Then I had to talk to the sleep doctor and see the nutritionist and she told me i need to start chewing longer and stretch my meals to twenty mins each and cut out the caffeine. I already went and did an abdominal ultrasound, upper gi swallow, and psych eval...

Hi my name is Kelly and I am 26 years old. I live in So Cal and will be banded in February. I think this idea of a mentor is great. If anyone is interested in taking this journey with me I would appreciate the help. Thank you.:grouphug: -

Ya I totally get it about being scared. Just focus on the fact that the reason we have so many pre op tests is to make sure that the surgery will go smoothly. So what appointment was it that they set the date for you? Was it after your pre op testing? -
Yeah the upper gi swallow was NASTY! I had the abdominal ultrasound which came back excellent. no swollen liver or gallstones or anything like that. On wednesday I see the nutrionist, the sleep doctor, and I will do the stress test. I had the psyche eval done also. What does the sleep doctor do? Do you have sleep apnea or anything? I put that I do not know if I have it or not (for the purposes of insurance). My surgeon said my insurance is pretty cut and dry so as soon as I finish the pre op testing I will be good to go. Who is your insurance?

hi Alcine. I do not have a date yet. I have the rest of my pre op testing on Wednesday, January 14th and they said it will be about three or four weeks after that. Do you have a date yet? -
