I scrolled down for a while, but didn't see any CO posts....

I'm from Westminster CO. Sleeved November 7th!

@Ianj84 through my support group I have seen a couple of people go through Metz and have heard nothing but good things.

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.
