Hello all im just wondering, i know i should ask the doc but i would like to take a count as to how many people have actually had to have pre-op testing done (bloodwork, chest xray, etc..) im getting done on sept 15 2014 and they didnt even mention that i had to have any of the pre-op stuff done they didnt even have me get a physical from my doc ...weird huh.....are you haveing pre-op testing done ????

I had extensive blood work,ekg,ultra sound of my abdomen and now an echocardiogram because of something on the ekg. Good luck with your bypass . Hope all goes well for you. I should be getting mine in the beginning of Oct.

I've only had a referral to the Bariatric Centre so I've not yet met with a surgeon or anyone from his/her team, and my regular Dr already did major blood work and is sending me to a sleep study. Just an FYI. I hope everything goes well for you. Keep us updated.

I met my surgeon in April 2014. I had blood work, sleep apnea test, six minute walk pulmonary test, pulmonary fitness test, chest X Ray, Ultrasound of stomach, ENG, and Stress test in June and July 2014. I have been seeing a nutritionist since July monthly. I think tests are necessary and vital before surgery. I am scheduled for November 4th. But I still have Psychological tests and nutritional goals to be ready by November 4th. I think you should ask your Doctor and consult others. This is your life, right?

_{You should be having some kind of testing, probably just not scheduled yet. I had blood work, EKG, Echocardiogram, Pulmonary Function, sleep Study and an Upper Endoscopy. If you don't have to have ANY pre-operative testing, I would ask. All surgeon's at least require a blood count to make sure you aren't anemic before surgery!!!}
