Your surgeon should have a list of requirements, it varies. I needed an endoscopy, EKG and blood work. I didn't have any other medical issues. I have seen others that needed a sleep study and other tests based on their specific medical needs.

If you are working with a Bari surgeon, they will let you know what tests need to be done. I just got the process started and have had to have a ton of blood work and an upper endoscopy. They were all ordered by the Bari surgeon or the nurse with the Bari clinic. However, I am sure it is different for all clinics. This has just been my experience.

Thanks guys, I dont know if I will, whether my surgeon is waiting for deposit or what so intend to send some questions. Its awkward because going abroad so may have to rethink surgeon. So if anyone has used Belgium Surgery Services and Dr Dubruyne it would be great to hear from you.
