Hopeful Sleever......

So I've picked my physician to do the sleeve. I had my appt with Dr, he gave me a long list of what I need to do. He told me to give to my PCP. Before I am meeting with my PCP I am getting all requirements done. Pulmonary cleared, cardio cleared, gastro tests next week, psych next week, sleep text next week. I only have nut left. Am I on track or too early?!? I just want to get all this done and do the surgery. ????

That's alot of test but you are off to a great start. Are the test a requirement of ur insurancee or doctor? How long did it take to get a visit with your surgeon

Hi Qtpie! To book the appt was pretty quick. Thankfully we have an abundance of surgeons. I'm just hoping my insurance will go along with my speed. So excited to get it done.

Dr, gave me a long list of what I need to do

@@mayala07

so many people to see - places to go!! to do -places to go, people to meet

you need to find out from insurance if you are required to do a 3 or 6 month pre-diet

you need a list of past weights over the years

different methods of ypu've tried to loose weight - example WW, Jenny Craig etc

co-morbitities like high blood pressure, diabetes, cpap

PCP will be able to help with above issues

insurance company might require more things or less things

the one thing you are required to have through this long process is patience

"God Grant Me Patience Just hurry Up About It"

good luck with all the hoops you will be jumping thru

and your pending WLS
