I went in to Thursday which was the 18th and it was approved on Monday. I got the calls for the appointments i have Tuesday. So so far it been happening pretty quickly. Im not sure if i have to do the nutritionist for the 3 months or not I know the lady said at the albany ga clinic said they were one of the fastest process there is because they don't require stuff that most places require. So she didn't go into detail but i guess i will find out at my orientation.

Hi everyone, I am knew here. My name is Michelle and I am 28 Years old. I have 4 kids and I am just starting the process for the Lapband. I go for my orientation Dec 9th, and my psych evavaluation on Nov 30th. I'm not really sure what to expect at the evaluational. Im also not sure what the process consist of there after. Any insight would be grateful. Im just curious as to how long it takes to actually get a surgery date. I'm living in Phenix City AL and going to Albany Ga to the clinic there.
