Oxford Weight Loss Clinic

Can anyone out there that has used Dr. King or Dr. Byars in Oxford, give me a little insight as to what pre tests they do? I have seen so many different kinds posted up here already. Sue

I didn't have to have much. I had an EKG, urinalysis, and bloodwork. Oh, and I had to have an EGD because I had had previous surgeries. The EGD determined what kind of scar tissue I had and if LAP was possible. Which it was not! Kitsy

Hey Sue, I used Dr King and I had to have a EGD, bloodwork,chest xray, ekg and a urinalysis. They sent me to a clinic where liv-lite is and I had it all done at one time. I wasn't there but like 30 minutes. It was great the people were really nice too. I had the Egd done at the hospital Dr King does it hisself. If you have a filter you will have it the same day as the Egd. The rest is done like a week before surgery. I really hope everything works out with your ins. It's a shame they put you through so much when in the long run it will save them money because you will be so much healthier. Let us know as soon as you find out something. Becky

Hey Sue, Both King and Byars err on the side of Caution, (Particularly in the "Aftercare.") This probably accounts for their High Success rate- (Way above national average) I'm the "fly in that ointment," and still my outcome has been Successful. I throw off Byars' statistics from being SUPER Great! As to the Pre-Op stuff, Here's my "recollection" - EGD, EKG, bloodwork, chest xray, and a urinalysis. Liv-Lite also had me do a Sleep study, and Psych Evaluation, But those were for insurance purposes not for the Dr. Byars had planned to put in a Vena Cava Filter as well, But changed his mind after my bloodwork. I'm at Extreme LOW-Risk for Blood Clots. Becky Wilson will probably set up the schedule for all of your Testing to be done around the same couple of dates so as to Avoid multiple trips to Oxford. She is Great! I don't know how people get through all of the Pre-Op Tests and Insurance Hoops without a "Becky!" Keep us posted! Best Wishes- Dx
