Both please

Blood Work , GI Test , Gastric Emptying Study , sleep Study, Psych and Nutrition ... I think that is it !!

And diet is two weeks before surgery.

Weeks up to the two weeks before is high Protein low carb diet

Week 1: 2 bariatric shakes a day and one meal

Week 2: all bariatric shakes

3 days before: all Clear liquids

Nothing before surgery the night before

My whole process has been pretty fast.. My first appointment was September 10th and my surgery is December 18th
