OT Ticker Help Please
WOW! Finally - huh? I have some people in my support group that have to have the 6-month diet - it must seem like forever. I thought 6-12 months seemed like a long time until I started having all the consults, testing, etc.
Our surgeons require an abdominal ultrasound, sleep study, sometimes upper GI studies (I have to have a barium swallow because of long-standing GERD), psychiatric and pulmonary consults; and then there's the regular nutritional, surgical, PA, internal medicine, etc. people.
A lot to keep track of and have done, but as I told the surgeon during my first visit with him - I'd rather take things slow and do it right than to rush and have problems later.
Do your surgeons also require full workups?
Howw about anyone else? Just wondering
