Pre-Op Testing

[Guest sjkilo]

Hi all,

I am in the just getting started area of banding. I had my phych eval last week and I meet with the surgeon on 12/29 and file with my insurance then. My question to all you veterans is:

What did you pre-op testing consist of?

Hi Jacky,

(I hope you don't mind, I deleted the duplicate thread you made.)

Pre-op testing varies somewhat from doctor to doctor, but here's what mine consisted of:

--complete physical, including loads of:

--blood work

--psych eval

--nutritionist meeting and evaluation

--consult with the doctor

I didn't have anything beyond that. People with any sort of reflux history may also have to have an upper GI, and some doctors prescribe that for everyone.

Good luck!!

I had all the above, plus a really nasty test:
