Hi everyone, I'm just starting the journey, My surgeon and I met Feb. 8 2008. Primary Doctor Feb. 15th. Tests I have had was my blood , x ray next Tues. Pulmonary tests in the hospital. I have been to the support groups 3 times and investigated this procedure for about a year.
My surgeon is very rigid in all the pre-op testing. I still have to see a Cardio, and Gastrologist. All my testing should be done by March 27th. Then all paperwork goes into the insurance company for approval.
Anyone that is going for the surgery soon I wish you the BEST of Luck and let me know how things go and what I will be looking forward to. Thanks Tweety/ aka Pat
