 I  am  new to all of this but I had my first appt with Dr Tang and I was wondering if someone can tell me  what the  process is from the first appointment to surgery day.  He is booking  my scope but that's all I know.

I had Dr. Tang and you need all the tests before he puts you on the list for surgery, so find out what you need and be proactive so the next time you see him you have alot of tests either done or you are waiting for them. I found I would go thinking I had them all done and then he would say, 'Oh, I need this test done' then that would set me back about 6 months from being on the list or ready for surgery. I can't remember all the tests, but I know I had to get an overnight oximetry(not sure of spelling) test, a lung capacity test, bloodwork.

Thanks so much. I had my first appt with him and he said he would send me for the gastroscopy and then left. I switched to Dr Malik because his wait time is much much less. Thanks for responding. Good luck on your journey.
