I am at the end of my pre- op process. All in all I had to go to an informational session to learn what bariatric surgery was and what kinds of surgeries there were to choose from. The pros and cons of each and meet the Dr. doing the surgeries. then I had to pay $50 for the initial evaluation as it was not covered by Fidelis Ny they said. After that they gave me a handbook with all the next steps. They sceduled me for a sleep study to determine if i had sleep apnea, and then the next morning a "Bundled Testing". Where I had to do a blood test, a Urine test, weigh in, have a sonogram of my liver, kidneys, pancreas and an extra of my lungs and heart. I had to meet with a psychologist and a RN and a physical therapist, a nutritionist was scheduled for another day as well as a breathing test called a pulmonary function test and then a second sleep study.. part 2... an echocardiogram and then go to a class to learn how to eat right. That is the process where i live. all in all it took me from Early March and will be completely done on May 21st. and will then have to wait for clearance... Not sure how long that will take but i'm assuming like up to 3 weeks. Hope this information helps!
