I'm almost done there was no wait for my surgery the surgeon and I decided to do the duodenum switch which is the most risky but will give me the better result. I only have to submit my blood work, a sleep study, a Pap smear, a mammogram, a letters from my PCP and Psychiatrist stating that were in agreement with the surgery which they were. I also had to purchase a book and attend a 3 hour class on life after surgery. I have OCD this became my obsession I'm just about done on every thing my gynecology apt is the 27 of the month which is the final piece of the puzzle which he will order my mammogram. The class for life after surgery is on the 14 of Sept. Which is normally a week before surgery
