while waiting for the 6 month waiting period, can some one already start the other items (xrays, mental eval etc)>>>

i dont know what waiting period u are talkin about i went to my seminair in sept,had sleep study and psych eval in oct,blood work in nov surgery in january.. but i dont see why u cant get it all done before 6 mts !!! GOOD LUCK !!!

If you are having to do the 6 month supervised diet, yes you can do the other tests that need to be done during that time.

they usually set you up with all the necessary tests, i had to have a endoscopy and a manometry swallow test. because i ahd some prior issues.

How long did it take for the scheduling of the other test after your consultation with the doctor u choose?

i went to my dr for a referral on a friday and i had my first eval with the sugeon 6 days later.

Oh ok that's good to know. I have my consultation the beg of March....maybe I will get the other appointments after that...,

monday/tuesday, i am making calls to get my pre=ops out of the way (if i have to wait the six months) i am gonna make sure i do everything right. i had a ekg not too long ago and my prinary care dr said that counts and they can also do my lab works. so that is 2 down out of the six pre ops they say i need. i did find out today my insurance wont pay for the nutritionist consult but i found a nice lady who will meet me on a weekend so i dont have to miss work.
