 What can I expect at the pre-op?  Dr. Nizzie in Traverse City Michigan?

I think I know most of it but need to be informed to feel better.

Hi Lola
sorry I dont have an answer to your question - just wanted to wish you well - only 21 days until your surgery! I used to go to school near traverse city ( Midland Michigan) so please be careful as they can get some snow.
all the best

Did you go to the seminar for the Traverse City office?  I did in September, but can't remember if they said specifically what was required for pre-op.

I didn't end up having my surgery in TC, but went to Virginia to have it done.  But, if I remember correctly, they required pretty much the same thing as far as tests goes.  If you're referring to what the pre-op Dr's visit will be like - sorry, can't help you there. 

I had to have an endoscopy, colonocopy, stress test, sleep test, blood work, psych evaluation, nutritionist counseling, and I hope I didn't leave anything out....

I had Dr. Nizzie as my surgeon, I LOVE him!!!  Is this your first appointment for pre-op with him?

 No this is the last exam before going on the pre-op diet before surgery January 23.

I am happy to hear you are pleased with Dr Nizzie. I leave today for Traverse City, my appointment is tomorrow.

Thanks for your reply. Lola

Dr. Nizzi is great he always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns that you might have.   I think everyone at grand traverse surgery makes your expierience a positive one. 
good luck!
