Pre-Op Tests

My first official appointments with my bariatric center aren't until June 24th. I'm having lab work done as well as meeting with the bariatric nurse, bariatrician and psychologist. I won't know what other medical tests I'll need prior to my surgery until at least after my first appointment, but based on my co-morbidities of GERD, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes, what type of tests might I expect?

My pre-op tests will include: labs (including vitamins and minerals, I swear they took 20 tubes of blood), an upper GI x-ray, an exercise evaluation, an EGD, and a psychological evaluation. I think every surgeon is different though. I don't have any co-morbidities though so I didn't require a stress test, sleep study or pulmonary function test.
