Hi...I'm Roxanne.....I'm going through Carmel too. My last NUT vist is Monday. I'm ready. What does the pre op tests consist of? And what is the medical history on may 10th? Have they said how long your surgery date is from the may 10th visit. The support group lady said the surgeries take 2 or 3 months to get. I don't want to wait that long. I was hoping for early June.

Roxanne, I am not sure what the pre op testing includes I will have to let u know when it's done. May 10th is medical history and physical. I am guessing I will b scheduled in June. Because pre op testing is only valid for 30 days. I still have to attend a support group meeting locally and attend a nutrition program at the hospital. I know the testing includes a nicotine test and an upper GI.

An upper GI? Do you have to do a stress test? Do you know where your going to the support group? I've been to a few and find them very informative. Who does the medical history and physical...your regular doctor or the surgeon? this is so much stuff....almost make me wish I was going to Mexico.

Upper GI is X-ray of upper stomach and intestines I believe. I don't think I need a stress test I don't have heart issues. Surgeons office does medical history.

U can change ur profile from the main site under your name.

I think u may b stressing a little. Just breath. Whatever it takes to get to the surgery it is worth it in the long run. I'm anxious too. I started all thus in early march. It just takes time.

Yea it does take time. I started in January. I am stressing. I read on the papers from the Carmel center that they did a stress test..and required a mammogram and pap sear.......and now you say the upper GI also....I guess they want to be very sure. So the upper GI isnt a scope? Are you going through insurance?

I guess I will try breathing now...lol

I'm using medicare. No an upper GI is an X-ray. Each patient is different. It's based on how healthy each person is. Ill know more in a few weeks.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
