I did all my testing, insurance approved surgery, date set for surgery, but I have to have a 2 hour long preop test? What test is this? I should've asked but didn't think to lol. I have to check in the hospital for this test. I'm curious if anyone else has to or had to do this..

Have you had any of the following yet? Chest x-ray, upper GI, barium swallow x-rays, EKG? Any of these, or a combination....could be your 2 hour preop test appointment.

@sasa_maria Did you do your psych eval yet? Mine was listed as being 2 hours long (didn't take anywhere near that though)

Just had a pre-op class last week that was 2hrs long during which we had a written quiz and then discussed the answers. The longest thing I've done so far is the wait for Endoscopy. Havn't heard anything about 2hr test though. Good luck though.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
