Just be upfront and tell your PCP that you want to take all the necessary test taken pre op and make sure he/she knows what to prescribe you in case of an event. I am due to goto my PCP in Jan and I am going to give him the run down on my situation. I am going take a full bloodwork panel and get him to prescribe me my post op meds for after my surgery Feb 17th so that I have them on hand when I come home. (null)

So my PCP, Dietician, and my sleep Apnea doctor all approve of me getting wls. Pros: I have great mobility for a fat guy. I dont smoke, drink, or do drugs. Bloodworks amazing. I am not a sickly person by anymeans. Plus I am only 32 years old so my body can heal faster. Plus I have a Higher healing rate due to HRT. My average heart Rate off HRT is 134/85, on HRT it rises to 140-160/80-96. I do have Lisinopril if it rises to high. Well like I said I was pointed in the right direction by a mere miracle and I have decided to go against the grain and against logical reasonings and I have put my deposit down for Feb 16th wth Dr Almanza at Jerusalem hospital. May god guide his stapler. I am to stay at Hotel Lucerna but I am upgrading my room to an executive suite because I am having my own private LPN (my wife) come with me. She will be taking vitals and watching over me. She is a certified phelebotomist also so thats a plus in my book. I can live my life fat and be ok. But with my job in jeapordy and sleep apnea, I have to make a drastic life change. God have mercy on my soul. Btw if your going to comment about this doc is better or of that sort please feel free to donate a few thousand dollars and I WILL schedule there, otherwise shush.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to first say Hi, I have been Lurking here for a month now gaining a little knowledge here and there. I was turned on to affordable wls by a miracle. I have been to some seminars and battled both blue cross blue sheild and cigna. Both businesses I have worked for put wls exempt. So I am paying out of pocket. Being so, I am willing to put my life on the line in the care of GOD. I am a USCG captain. I run a big Crewboat in the gulf of Mexico. I weigh an average of 315 year round. I get hounded everytime I turn in a piece of paperwork on sleep apnea and my weight countering my physical ability to do my job. In the past 2 years I have spent over 3500 bucks on just sleep apnea tests not to account for all the travel time to get sign offs on agility tests. I do have thyroid issues which is controlled and has been for 4 years now. It was discovered by a dietician so I now on 175mcg of T4 synthroid ED.
