Pre-OP process

[msauerbrei 31]

I’m really happy with how easy this whole process has been. Was cleared my the pulmonologist and they even gave me the home sleep study machine. X-ray being done today, blood work Friday morning. Nutritionist and seminar next Wednesday and Thursday. Body composition and RMR in May 14 and next appointment with surgeon on May 15th.

After that psychiatrist and ultrasound of upper GI. I’d love for surgery by first week of June but probably won’t be until End of July realistically.

Hoping and praying there are no setbacks!

That’s a blessing. Mine was a breeze too. I got my 1st visit and referrals for my clearances in October and that same week I went for my weigh in because I didn’t want to waste a month. By November I was done with all my clearances and I just had to wait until March for my 6th and last weigh in. The tricky part is once it’s all done and it’s sent to your insurance if you get approved or not. I got approved and I’ll get my surgery date tomorrow. So excited!

I must add that I was never required to actually diet or lose any weight so that was the best part. I will have to do the 2 week pre op liquid diet though. Ugh

Same here! No weight loss required just trying my best to get used to my new way of life post surgery. I’ve been cutting back on caffeine and diet soda too

Thats awesome! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I am still at the beginning of the process (still have 2 nutrition visits, pulmonologist clearance, cardiac clearance, and gastro clearance). But I did get my psych clearance last week. Surgery is scheduled for July 23rd! Maybe we will be surgery buddies!

I still have two more nutritionist visits, psych, and endo left.
