likemeagain 5 Posted January 14, 2014 On average, how long did it take you to get from initial consult to surgery? I had my consult on January 6th. I have my psych eval on the 16th, I meet with pulmonologist on the 20th, attend a seminar also on the 20th, then on the 27th see Cardiologist, Dietician and Excercise physiologist. I am thinking i am doing pretty good with getting things scheduled really quick. I still have to get my consult with my actual surgeon, but i think that comes after all these other things take place, but just curious how long it took you to get a surgery date?

You did 2 months of pre-op diet? What did it consist of? I have stopped carbonated beverages, but will learn more after meeting with my dietician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
