My tests turned out fine. However, my husband is also getting a Sleeve done at the same time as me. During his pre-op testing he was found to be severely low in vitamin D, low in Zinc, and his EKG showed that he's had a heart attack at some point in the last few years. He would have never known any of this without the in-depth testing that is required for this surgery. He is getting the help he needs to be healthy now, so I am so thankful for this surgery for this reason, if nothing else!!

I discovered that I have 25 polyps in my stomach and a hiatal hernia (which I've suspected for a while. I had half of them removed and go back in 4 weeks to have the rest removed...so far thats all, thank goodness.

I have discovered so far that I am prediabetic, severely Vitamin B deficient, Vitamin D deficient and Zinc deficient. Also, tested for sleep apnea but I don't think so (probably a teeth grinder though). Let's see what else the rest of the hoop-related testing discovers.

I think when properly done, the test will find something, even just small - or I would doubt the testing...too much fat usually for too long to not have some sort of issue. I am tested to a point of ridiculousness (or so I thought) - until they caught my blood platelets getting low the day after surgery...and yes, they are still getting lower. So the testing was worth it.

Will they proceed with your Husband's scheduled sleeve?

I do believe my husband will be cleared for the surgery. His cardiologist cleared him, and that was the final hurdle. We're just waiting for the paperwork to be filled out and sent to the surgeon. Mine has already been sent. We get sleeved in 46 days! Woo Hoo!!!!
