I just confirmed health insurance coverage and am awaiting paperwork in the mail. Once I send that in and the surgical center validates my insurance coverage, my first appointment will be scheduled. (So, I am WAY early in the process)

I am starting my process as well. I met with my doctor yesterday. So I am in the process of scheduling the appointments and losing the required 20lbs on my own.

I've had my consult with the dr and finished my psych eval. Next on my checklist is the EKG and my two nutrition classes which are both scheduled for next week!

I am a couple of months into the process. I went to an information session and met with the surgeon 11/2015. I found out that my insurance requires that I follow a Dr. approved diet plan for 6 consecutive months (I have to go 2x a month). The hospital where I am having the surgery is a Bariatric Center of Excellence and all of the surgeons, Dr.'s and nutritionists have offices right next to each other and all work together.
Once a month I will meet with the Dr. who runs the program and then 2 weeks later I will have a class to attend where a nutritionist/dietitian talks to us about various different things. I have my 2 visits for December completed and I had my class yesterday and will meet with the Dr. on the 19th. I also had to meet with a psychologist and they want me to attend a support group at least once in my area. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly from here on out.

I do not have to do any tests except for the psych eval. My pcp is really on top of my blood work and other tests. I just have my pre-surgery weight to lose.
