hi

I know you also need to do a nutritional and psych evaluation. at the seminar they have it set up where you can make your appointments right then and there with the people that work with their office. I didnt use them because they were not covered by my insurance. i randomly called nutritionists and asked if they worked with bariatric surgery patients and I found one. I also went to a psych dr the my PCP recommended and didnt have any probelms with Dr bertha's office or insurance. they will also give you a form of lap work that you need to get done. I did that as soon as I could as to not delay anything. I had everything done before my first consult so that I was acutally able to set up my surgery date the day of my consult. all my paper work was submitted a few days later and I had approval within a week. having everything done before hand really help me not have to wait for the surgery any longer then I already had.

good luck...if you have any questions please feel free to ask
