Well due to me having Medicare in Chicago with an BMI OF 60 I am only required blood work, a Pap smear, mammogram, a letter from my PCP and my Psychiatrist and a sleep study, along with a 3 hour prep class on what to expect after surgery and I will be done with my requirements. I have my blood work done on the 8/6 I have my pap scheduled on 8/26 I have contacted my Psychiatrist and my PCP for the letter and the sleep study I'm waiting on a call back. This is wonderful news I'm so excited

Good luck on your surgery.

Good luck on your surgery.

Thanks

I'm really getting mad (venting) I don't have sleep apnea yet my surgeon is requesting a sleep study. My PCP order it but because it's not on there request form or in there system they want to send my PCP this long questionnaire which my PCP feels that the surgeon should fill out which I totally agree my PCP is just doing the surgeon a favor by getting involved. This is a battle war and I want out????????????????????

Are they wanting your PCP to fill it out maybe because they think your PCP knows you better than the surgeon does?

When I started the process, my PCP ordered my sleep study before my surgeon even requested it.

It is finally all scheduled my sleep study 9/24 my pap 8/27 my 3 hour class as to my life after surgery 9/14 lab work all done, all letters have been submitted and I've stared back see my therapist my next appointment is 9/19.

What hospital are you having surgery at. Im having mine at The University Of Chicago
