Hi!

I'm having Pre Op Testing tomorrow morning at the hospital I'm wondering what test will be done? I'm a bit nervous and scared but also very excited for this life changing day to finally arrive!! Surgery is one week from tomorrow

I had Labs, chest xray, ekg, and barium swallow. But all docs are different. Best wishes!

I just had blood work (I think two maybe three vials but I think my primary added a few extra tests to give clearance), chest X-ray and EKG.

I had blood work, urine, EKG, and chest X-ray

I had to have bloodwork, an x-ray & an EKG.

Thanks for all those who replied. Thank God this is over with. it was some blood work and an EKG. I think I made myself worried for nothing.

Good Luck to all of you who still need to get to this point

I don't think that many people are recommended the same docs. It depends on your body. By the way, how are you diet plans in this one-week to your surgery? Congrats and best wishes.

For those of you wondering what the pre opt diet is for me its not as hard as I thought. I'm allowed to have 2 Protein shakes and one meal with very lean protein and unlimited vegetables all day. I found that making dinner your one meal has worked best for me. I had to drive to my pre op testing in a huge snow storm so if I can do that, I'm ready for my surgery!!

Best of Luck

Not sure if I am posting in correct spot, new to the website here, what can I expect on my first initial appointment to my surgeon

Jhood2005 welcome,

At your first initial appointment with your surgeon you can expect to go over all the options of weight loss surgery and then they mite have you choose which option you would like to get or which one will work best for you and your body. In my case I had to fill out lost of paper work and about my medical history etc. They will weigh you and calculate your BMI to make sure you qualify for surgery, send you off to meet with the nutritionist and schedule your pre opt testing..... and before you know it you will schedule your date

Hope this was helpful
