Topic: RE: Pre-op labs & requirements for Weight Wise
Your preop tests depend on your situation, but WW requires blood work, a stress test, consults with physiologist, nutritionist, psychologist, etc. Depending on the results of those tests they may require a sleep study, another stress test, and further testing. Your age has an impact (I had to have a colonoscopy since I'm in my 50's). When I was frustrated because WW sent me to a cardiologist for a more detailed and expensive stress test, my husband pointed out that if it showed something bad (it didn't), we would be able to get it treated rather than me winding up dead. That put it all into perspective.
Winn gave you good advice for using your patient advocate. They are invaluable.

Topic: RE: Carnation Sugarfree Instant Breakfast
What did you finally find out about this. My doc wants me taking 2 8oz liquid protein shakes and the third meal a salad and a little bit of meat. I am 3 and a half months out yet before I can even have the surgery due to insurance requirements. I can understand a couple weeks prior to the surgery but 3.5 months out. Did anyone have to do this as well?
