    I am being banded the 27th. I know that surgeons follow different guidelines but 2 weeks ago I had to have an EKG,upper GI, chest xray,gallbladder ultrasound, EGD and bloodwork. They found my gallbladder was in great need to be removed and I had that done 2/13. I did not have a sleep apnea test but did have a physc evaluation that had to be done before they submitted my ins for final approval. They have done no pre op testing at all?
