I know this might be dumb questions and I know I need to learn more about WLS but why do I need to see a pulmonary doctor and what should I expect?

The pulmonary dr. I saw was for my possible sleep Apnea. Also, it could be to rule out any respiratory issues that you have (or could have). Asthma? Bronchitis? Don't worry, it won't be bad.

Is that the medical clearance?

I have sleep apnea, been on c-pap for 5 yrs,. Had another study done a month ago & it seems I should have been on a Bi-Pap machine all this time.. They said it was a wonder I hadn't died in my sleep! On the new machine now, but having surgery in 3 months, after that shouldn't need it..
