Thank you so much for the respons I appreciate it

Your welcome. Just remember each surgeon is different and insurance may require more

Each doctor is different in what the require and your age will be a factor as well. The older you are the more tests they want done. I had to get a colonoscopy as well as a endoscopy, sleep apnea, and psych. eval. My doctor also made sure that I had my yearly gyno. check up and mamo as well. They really want to make sure you are in perfect health before surgery so there are no complications.

Hey I'm 24 and pre op. I'm pretty much healthy except for my weight and I have to have psych evaluation, cardiology eval (due to my size, but never had heart problems, they did an ekg and echo), see a dietician, and go to a class. They do the edg a few day before surgery. Did they give you a time frame for surgery?

I have had to have psych clearance, cardiologist clearance, EKG, chest X-ray, upper GI, bloodwork, urine sample, primary care dr clearance, dietician class, support group meeting and a Dr. Talk to explain the procedure.

I have been through all the tests...seemed like forever. Then lean green diet for 3months...lost 40. Now 14 days on liquid proteins...surgery sept 24. I also was encouraged to begin an exercise routine which i did. I am tired of waiting but so glad i am at a facility where they want you as safe / healthy as possible before i go in a week and a half. Keep on keeping on...i know it will all pay off.

All of that being said i do feel sorry for myself. Thank God for all of you on this website!
