pantherbyhabit 6 Posted June 26, 2015 Anyone switched dr practices? I've already completed my 6 months but every time I call their office I feel like they don't have all their ducks in a row. They want me to come back in again to meet with the surgeon even though when I met with him I told him I we still deciding between the sleeve and the lap band.

Shortlynx2 34 Posted June 29, 2015 My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-) Looks like we will be the same day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
