Consulatation went well, in part. The counslor for the physch evaluation wasn't in and I have to go back in a few weeks to meet with her. I was also given two dates for some other visits. One is to see a nutritionist and the other is some hour long exercise class/lesson........not for sure what to expect but I was told to dress comfortable because I will sweat. I met with three people yesturday. One was a nurse who check my weight and height then talked to me about the procedure and what foods to eat before and after surgery. Then I met the doctor who will be performing the surgery and he explained to me the process too. Then I met the insurance lady. She seems to think I will have the lab band in place before the Holidays. There were three ladys in the office that have all been band!!!

Not for sure what you mean with pre ops. I called UC back in March to see if my insurance would cover the procedure. Once they confirmed that my insurance would cover the procedure, I was told to see my family doctor once a month for six months and to have the doctor keep a dietary record of my visits. After my 6TH appointment, UC will submit this information to my insurance company for approval. The consultation isn't covered under insurance.
