Had my psych eval today. I'm a therapist so I expected all the questions and testing. I'm getting more excited and less nervous with each thing checked off the pre-op list.

I see the nut on friday. Then I go in for labs, chest xray, and mri the following week. On Feb 1st I do my endoscopy. After that it's just a matter of getting all squared away with the insurance (which I already know they'll approve me -it's just not formal yet). Then a surgery date.

I've waited years to be as ready as I am now.

It's a good feeling when you start knocking out the appointments. I have one more dietician, sleep study, and surgeon appointment left. I do cardiology tomorrow, too. But, I can't wait for the day that surgery is scheduled. I too will be waiting for the insurance. The surgeons office says to not worry, but I can't help it. Good luck to you!

Just curious, why the MRI?

It's just one of this docs standard pro-op things. Can never be too careful I guess.

But MRI of what?? I'm an X-ray and Ultrasound tech so I'm curious as to what you'd have an MRI of before gastric surgery. I've never even heard of that before now.

Honestly, I don't know. He just checked it off on my sheet of things. It may end up that I don't have to do it.

Oh ok. It just seems weird to me. Well good luck with everything else! I'm just waiting on my last physician visit next month then everything goes to insurance. So excited!

Ok, you got me thinking. I reviewed my paperwork. It's an ekg not an mri.

That sounds right! !

Phew! I was sure you we're getting ripped off somehow! EKG makes more sense!
