Hi all

Cool! Are you ladies all ready to go? I had to scramble on Friday making all my pre-op clearances appointments. It gets more "real" by the day!

Oh yeah! I got a date with the dietitians for pre-op on April 25th. And meet with the surgeon again on 5/2.

As ready as I'll be. I have been doing this since last May so I was starting to get a bit frustrated it was taking so long. So right now I'm excited. I assume I'll start to get a bit more nervous once liquid diet starts. You?

Hi! I'm on May 2 and can't believe it's only 3 weeks away. I made my PCP med clearance appointment and go on 4/19 for pre-op meeting. My doctor does a group meeting then individual appointments after that. Put in my time off and work, been cleaning the house, have some shopping to do, and just looking forward to it. Hard to believe it's really happening.

I'm excited and a bit nervous. I have my PCP pre-op appt this morning. I then have Pulmonologist on 4/18 & Cardiologist on 4/20. Then I return to PCP on 4/26 for final medical clearance. I'm worried the PCP won't be able to get that final medical clearance to my surgeon's office by 4/27 (when they need it). It took her 3 weeks to get them the medical necessity letter. I wish my PCP could do all the clearances herself. All this running around only adds to the nerves.

Hi:

Do you only have to go to your PCP for med clearance? I just posted how I wish that was the case for me. My surgeon requires we see a Cardiologist and Pulmonologist. So many appointments in a very short time. I also have to attend a 2 hr group meeting at his office.

Dis you tell work why you need time off?

I know the feeling. I had to get clearance from the pulmonologist and cardiologist also. I went to a bariatric clinic in another town. And did my test at my home hospital. Which I had medical transportation to take me to my appointment. But I got one medical supervised meeting and that would conclude the six months required by my insurance. I been at this since September and November starting 6 months supervised weight loss meetings.

Yikes. I don't think my PCP requires all the pulmonologist and cardiologist stuff but I have no significant medical history for problems. When I made the appointment they just asked to be sure any pretest blood work was done and ready for review at my appointment.
