Just Starting

[Anessava 1]

Just starting this whole process after considering it for four years. Need to do classes for my insurance, which I am ok with because I like time to research and plan. What do I need to know or questions I should remember to ask during this whole process?

💚Welcome💚

I would ask about start to finish time lines, insurance coverage and out of pocket expenses associated with the surgery.

I want to know too!! I did the consultation, now they want me to go in for a EGD surgery to look at the lining of my stomach and throat

I would inquire about the pre-op diet required by the surgeon. As you've probably noticed, the surgeon's requirements for pre-op definitely vary. Obviously, there's no magic pre-op diet so find one you'll be comfortable with.
