Ok great... yea I am getting the hba1c and the lipids.. Thanks so much for the quick responses. This helps a ton. Now, I am packing something to eat for after the test

do I need to fast for the lab work? does anyone know.. I forgot to ask... Jen

Thanks I can't wait.

so excited just got approved today surgery on the 22nd.

Can someone loose weight after the sleeve if they are lazy and dont like excerise?

I had my last weight in last week, the doc gave me a prescription to get the EKG and other lab work done. I am not sure when I am supposed to get this work done. Do I need to wait to get a Date first??? and then schedule it. When did you guys had your Labs and EKG done? TIA Jenny

So happy finally went to my first consultation, so I can get this process started. I was so nervous but it was easy and simple. was told only 3 month weight in for insurance so was happy about that. Can wait already to go back.

Feeling anxious.. I had my first seminar, last week only to find out a few days later that my insurance wont cover that doctor because they only cover certain hospital/association. So I found another Doc that the insurance will cover. The seminar is next week and I am wishing it was sooner.... so feeling very anxious to get the process started because I know it takes time before, I can get the surgery. And on top of everything, the hospital/Doc is an Hour away!!!! so this whole process will be a pain due to all that travel I have to do. Did anyone had to travel over an hour to go to your surgeon? Jen

The Seminar was great, Made an appointment for a consultation. Thanks to this forum all the information I have made the process very easy to understand. Jen

Hi Yes they are a center of excellence that makes me feel better.

Thanks for the info,I did ask that and he said no,only what ever the insurance covers no extras fees.

I am so excited! Not sure what to expected but hoping I can get all I need to get the ball rolling A little scared and nervous to find out what they say... Jen

Great Thanks for the replies.. I just call my PCP and made an apt, and looked up at seminar. So lets see what they tell me.. thanks all

Hi, NEW HERE Do you go to your primary doctor first or do you go directly to a surgeon to start the process for weight loss surgery?? Confused! TIA
