I smoked h ookah a week post-op. No problems except I felt a little guilty for some reason. Didn't get approval from dr or anyone but...I'm still here haha. Exactly one month out now and still doing great. So 🤷‍♀️ but that's also just me.

I'm scheduled for the sleeve on January 20th . Pre-op appt with surgeon is 1/9 and pre-op with the hospital is 1/10. I still need to have my pre-op tests done and have had difficulty scheduling appointments because of the holidays. Blood work is no biggie and will be done on New Year's Eve. But EKG, gallbladder ultrasound, and chest xray are all scheduled for 1/6.

Would it even be possible to have the results sent that quickly from the lab to primary care and then to the surgeon within 3 days?

O I forgot some info.
I have Cigna open access plan.
So my requirements are minimal- no diet requirements or wait period. I had my consult December 7 and did psych evaluation, dietician meeting,pre op class, lab work and approval by PCP.
For pre op diet my surgeon only has a clear liquid diet for 48 hours before surgery.

I have the same insurance! I had Cigna send me the whole policy and actually brought it with me to my initial consult. Good thing I did too because at first the surgeon was adamant that I call back insurance to get more details. Then I showed him the policy and was told "Oh wow! You are golden!"
