oh geez thanks for the heads up. lol
I appreciate you answering my hoards of questions for me lol.
does Suzanne send you home with a last packet of bariatric recipies or something for your final pre op appointment?
I have no clue what they are going to throw at me as far as the diet post op.

Nope. I have insurance. My insurance co only required a psych exam. Dr Fitzer required an EKG. I had a 3 day pre op liquid diet and you have a 7 week post op diet to follow. Dr Fitzer will send u home with NO pain meds so be prepared. But after the 1st 10 days it gets better. Just walk walk walk and sip sip sip!! My stats: 240lbs 5’3
surgery was 3/21 - 6 mos ago. Im down 85 lbs and at my goal weight of 150lbs

Hi everyone,

Im scheduled for surgery with Dr. Fitzer, I know im pulling up this thread from a while ago, but i was wondering if he required any one of you to do an endoscopy or sonogram before surgery? I am a self pay patient.
