  1. I have scheduled every required test: endoscopy, cardiac+stress test, psychological consult, radiology exams, lab work.  Sleep study is being scheduled by the surgeon's office.  Its a big lift!  I wonder how many people give up along the way?

      WOW! I can not believe how much you have to go through! I must agree with you! I know in our area you do not have to go through that many tests, typically it is a 12 lead EKG, psychologist, labs, and that is about it! I am sorry that they are running you around like that, its absolutely ridiculous! I can understand some tests but all of that is crazy, unless you are a high risk patient! (not saying that you are just saying that I am no Dr but I am in the medical field as is the wife and neither one see the reason for all the tests unless there are a lot of other things involved. Obviously not in you're case since you are passing all the tests!)

      You are lucky!!! All of the tests are standard for all of my surgeon's patients except for the stress test -- that is required for people over 50 (I'm 53). The cardio and endoscopy seem over the top to me, but I'll do it.
