Having you meet with somebody from anesthesiology during your pre-op

testing is a very nice touch! I'm going to suggest to Dr. Anthone

that he add this to his pre-op routine.

Is that all the tests Dr. Gagner normally orders, or did you have

some others at an earlier date? Just curious -- I like to compare

what all the different docs do. (Someday when I become Dictator of

the Known Universe, I'm going to mandate the " perfect " bariatric

surgery program -- right after I outlaw people who are tall and

naturally thin.) (;

Good luck with your surgery!
