Dr Spitz is an excellent surgeon!I had Dr Vallina from CDH with Dr. Spitz as his assistant. They are both great surgeons and you will be in the best hands with them. I dont, think I had to have any blood gas tests done but I might have forgotten.I didnt, have to lose any weight before surgery either.The tests that I had were a variety of blood tests ,A psych eval,a pulmonology exam,a sleep study, a scope of the colon and stomach. I think that is about all I had done. It takes time to get all the testing done and results back and sent to the proper places but it is all well worth it. I had surgery Aug of 2002 and have been doing very well. I am happy to say I am in a size 14 now!!!and still losing!!! Email me if you would like [email protected]
