I just got instructions for what i got to do before surgery and i have to go see my primary care physician for medical clearance. anyone know what they do, or test? just want some kind of idea what to expect. any feedback is greatly appreciated. thanks

My medical clearance is my last step before pre=op... I had to see cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, psychology, have 6 months doctor regulated weight loss all before that point....now waiting for insurance clearance....crossing my fingers all clears through for surgery date of 3/19. I am told all they do is go over all the lab work, and other test done by each doctor.....

i did the psychology and my insurance had an option, do 1 yr with the dr or 3 months with the LB dr, so i opted for that. like i said i did the psych, so i guess all the other things u mentioned just need to be done. thats done with one dr right? bc they just told me to go see him and get clearance and have it sent 1 week before which is next thursday and my dr appointment is the day before on wednesday, so i would guess im only going to him, not enough time to see others ya kno? i just want this to be done and the 13th to be here hahaha.

my fingers are crossed to for u and the approval, mine only took a week and a half to approve, how long have u been waiting, hope its fast like mine. good luck and thanks for the feedback. :rolleyes2:
