Have you spoken to the doctors office yet? Some require you attend a seminar before you make an appointment. Once you do go to the seminar and/or doctor appointment they will tell you what else you require. Most doctors have a nutrionist on staff that you see. It sounds like you have a lot of your test done already. Good luck and may you get your date soon.

Stefanie, I would definitely make that call to the doctor's office and get an appointment. Your surgeon will let you know what else is needed once you get in with him. Sometimes it may take a few weeks before you can get in and get an appointment so I would definitely make that appointment or attempt to, they will let youknow what youneed once you make that appointment!

Hi Stefanie Dr. O's practice has a nutritionist and I've heard they are very thorough in their nutritional counseling. There are lots of folks who will probably respond who have dealth with Dr. O and his practice. Sound real promising Frances

Hi Stefanie! I too am going to Dr.O.When you went to his seminar did you get folder of papers?They had a gold envelope with what you have to do before you make an appt. with him.I know you have to have all your papers in hand or they will cancel your appt.Mine is for the 18th.I had to wait 2 weeks so that they could get my pscyc papers in.I wish you the best of luck.....Email me if you have any ???

When your surgery is scheduled you will then see the nutritionist. Probably about a week or 2 before. It sounds like you have everything covered that he would want to see. sit back and wait for your appointment now. Good luck!
