Dr. Metz was my surgeon and he's amazing. He did my parents gastric bypass too! When is your surgery?

Can you tell me about the testing? Did you have all your tests done at Rose or day of your preop?

I had them done the week before at Rose. Dr. Metz' office gave me a sheet of paper with a number I had to call. I also had to pre-register for my surgery appt. the # for that was on the same paper. Totally easy!

Did he give you a nicotine test? I am a former smoker but on NYE I had half with my husband and he cancelled my surgery and rescheduled after I told him the truth, which I understand, but no one told me I had to be nicotine free for 30 days so I was pretty bummed. If he did give you a nicotine test was it urine or blood? Also, you did the testing a week before your surgery at Rose? I have preop again on the 26th. Thank you for your help. I am totally nervous about this surgery.

I didn't need the nicotine test as I'm wasn't a smoker.

No need to be worried! You got this! I had my testing done the week before surgery. I called and scheduled my appt. Went in and saw a nurse who asked a ton of questions and then had another nurse draw blood and yet another nurse do an ekg on my heart. Then the first nurse, Nancy was her name (very sweet lady!) came back in and asked a few more questions. She then wished me luck and said I was free to go!

He gave me a nicotine test a week prior as well. Blood test. I was smoke free for almost 2 months by then. He told me about it prior. He still is on my dad about smoking after surgery but my dad did quit for over a year. It can cause further issues, he just wants to make sure. He's strict for good reasons.

I didn't go with Dr. Metz but I believe he is through Parker Adventist hospital too. If I'm right then you're lucky. I went with Dr. Long at Park Adventist and it was a wonderful experience. I loved that hospital so much. I actually felt pampered at times. (Well as pampered as could be while still in pain from surgery. lol)

ETA: Oh hmm, looks like maybe he doesn't go through Parker Adventist. Weird. I could have sworn I saw signs for Dr. Metz's weight loss classes at Parker Adventist when I was there for Dr. Long's classes.

He gave me the option of either place. Parker or Rose. He said he likes Rose better and my nutritionist is up that way, so I picked Rose.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
