What do you have to do at pre-op appointments and who do you have to see?    — Tamc27 (posted on April 24, 2010)

Well, my surgery was done at the Cleveland Clinic so I saw everyone there. I had to have several tests. Upper GI, heart monitor, chest xray, blood work and more I think.

Tamara it will depend on your surgeon's office and your insurance. I started with an informational meeting (it was with a group of 30) then had my individual appointments with a nutritionist and psychologist and small group appointments (5 people in the group) with the nutritionist (again) and physical therapist. After all of those appointments were taken done I saw the surgeon who then sent all my paperwork to the insurance company. Within 2 days of my surgeon's visit I was approved and had my surgery date!

I had blood work, chest xray, Scope of my stomach, he reviewed by colonoscopy (thank God he didn't make me do that again) but that was about all. It really depends on your doctor. Some people have to actually start a diet plan with the NUT.
