Congrats good luck on your surgery date I can't wait to say the same :)

Jessy, welcome!! You will be so glad you came here!! There is a REAL wealth of information that the members readily share. I have learned soo much just reading their answers!! I'm 33 and health other than my weight. I had to do a physical with my PCP, annual with my GYN, Endoscopy with Gastro, Psych eval with PSY, nutrition counseling, attend an informational seminar with surgeon and meet him one on one. I'm also planning to stop in on his support group that meets once a month. His office finally submitted everything to my insurance on Wednesday, so I'm EAGERLY AWAITING APPROVAL! :) Again, welcome!

I totally understand... I think it's like having kids...the days go by slow, but the months go by quick!! It'll be here in no time! I say that, but I'm going to need you to remind ME in a few days when my official count down begins!!

Good luck :) Like folks said every bariatric center/surgeon has different required tests.
