Pre-Op Testing

[king0907 0]

What were some of the pre-op testing that you had to do? How long did it take to find out if your passed it all to get surgery and normally how long after is surgery scheduled? I am self pay

I was also self pay. I did egd (only because we suspected hiatal hernia), and then blood work and EKG the week before surgery.

Good luck!

Oh and we actually scheduled my egd and surgery on the day of my consult. It was 7 weeks from consult to surgery for me. Had I not wanted the egd first, it would have been 3 weeks. (For me the longest part of the wait was just getting in for the consult... Scheduled that in early June but couldn't be seen until mid July.)
