What's next?

[haleymarie 35]

I'm just wondering what the next step in the process is...Through Uhc I have no supervised diet requirements & have already met with my NUT and am expected to meet her again on the 14th (she wants us to lose 14 pounds by then, I've lost 12 already). I also met with the doctor who ordered a sleep apnea test & X-rays and all my blood work...then on the third I meet with my surgeon for the first time, I'm wondering what that appointment is for since I'll be done with all requirements by March 14th...I'm getting so anxious!

Your surgeon will probably want a duodenoscopy (EGD) and an upper GI X-ray. I had to see a gastroenterologist for the EGD. Your surgeon may want a final set of blood work and a preop clearance from your primary doctor within 30 days of your surgery.

Good luck!

My surgeon told me that since this is basically an elective surgery they check everything. I had a chest xray, ekg, sleep study, psychological evaluation, several meetings with a nutritionist. Then i had to go to a cardiologist over something in my ekg, a pulmonologist over my sleep study, a hemotolgist over something in my blood....they were very thorough
