Hello all, I am getting ready to go to the seminar and in hopes of changing my life for ever. I have already got pre-certified from my insurance so hopefully the next 6 mo. will go by quickly. I am very nervous but excited. I am looking for new friends and experiences so talk to me and I also would like to know other peoples receipes and do's and don'ts regarding diet after the surgery. Beck:wink_smile:

and I had my labwork clear back in april lol

That lapwork is different. All surgeries require labwork to be done no more then 2 weeks prior to surgery. They just make sure everything is ok, no infection, blood counts are fine and you're not prego. You will also have a chest Xray that day

So i can have all that done on the 18th-21st? Yes I already have a date if nothing goes wrong his nurse allowed me to do it before I see him due to me having time restraints.

So when I go in to see Kaplan monday then i can mention the other appt if they dont do it then...due to my mom's work schedule it needs to be on either the 18th, 19th, 20th, or 21st before 3pm lol ugh so many appts!

No, he has nothing to do with it... Call Scheduling at CCMH, I forget the number and they can work it out with you. I forget the number, the hospital number is 424-2111 then you can just asked for centralized Scheduling

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call, I wonder if I can get the PAT crap done between the 11th and 14th. Ugh working around my mom's work schedule is so annoying.

Ugh I am getting myself so confused and stressed out...there was also something I remember about pre CERT? I'm lost completely now lol.

Im confused, how and where do I add my ticket to and how is it updated

HUH????:smile2:

My mom just said to wait until monday and bring it up so she will understand better...I'm sure they would have mentioned it then anyway. If they don't mention it I am going to ask them how we set it up and how they will know it's for Kaplan etc. It's just easier that way. I want Monday to be here already so i can start my preop and have my date CONFIRMED and also know the date of my EGD

HUH????:smile2:

I think she/he means their ticker...but like...I dunno who it is or anything or why she/be posted it there. LOL

Neither Dr. Kaplan or Jeannie arranged my appointment with the Pre-op testing at the hospital. I just received a call one day from one of the nurses in same-day care, after I saw Kaplan for my final visit. I had to do my questions over the phone before the EGD and actually had to go in the Saturday before my surgery to meet with a nurse to go over questions, sign surgery paperwork, etc. Because I was not on the 6 month diet plan and all my stuff happened pretty quick between March and June, I didn't have any further lab work done at that time. I would call pre-op testing at the hospital tomorrow. Tell them what day your EGD is and what day your surgery is. Tell them what day you can come to do your pre-op appointment with the same-day care nurse so they can go ahead and schedule it. They fill up pretty quick, so I wouldn't put it off until the last minute.

HUH????:smile2:

I'm with you....:tongue2:

Froggi please listen to us DR KAPLAN, HIS NURSE OR JEANNIE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PAT. They dont schedule it, they dont call them, NOTHING.. His nurse will tell you the exact same thing we are telling you. YOU have to do it. Once your surgery is scheduled, THE HOSPITAL usually calls you to schedule it OR you can call scheduling yourself to schedule it. Kaplan has NOTHING to do with it.. Trust me, my mom use to be the manager over Same Day Care and the PAT people.

Yes, I'll give that website address to the girls..i was beat too after class...amazing how much one caqn sweat!! Going for my first fill today....yikes.....see you monday! Theresa

I don't have a specific date for my EGD until the 10th...that will be confirmed and my surgery date on Monday. So on Monday after I see Kaplan then I can come home and call the scheduling part and tell them when my EGD is and my surgery date and get my PAT scheduled. I was just going to ask Kaplan's nurse about how to do it, etc...not that they do it for me.
