Hoops to jump through

Here's all the stuff I need to get done before I can get my surgery date:

Echocardiogram
Treadmill Stress Test
Electrocardiogram
Chest Xray - DONE
Abdominal Ultrasound
Pelvic Ultrasound
CBC, Electrolytes, BUN, Creatinine (blood work)
TSH (bloodwork)
Prolactin (bloodwork)
Cortisol (bloodwork)
Upper GI Endoscopy
Evaluation/Clearance by Mental Health Care Professional (this should be good!)
Nutritional Consultation by a dietician/nutritionist
Documentation by PCP of weight loss of 15lbs.
Attendance of at least one support group held by Bariatric Surgery Clinic at UCSF

Hey, if this is gonna make me healthier for surgery, bring it on! Can't wait to find out results to all this cool stuff!
