I have my consultation with the surgeon tomorrow. I was told that my surgeon requires me to do 2 support groups (done), attend the seminar (done), psych eval (also doing tomorrow) and the nutrional counseling (also doing tomorrow). My insurance United Healthcare doesn't really require much except to have a BMI of over 40, I do and a letter of medical clearance and of medical necessity (i have a call in to my pcp for both of those.) So, the receptionist said that the appointment usually lasts about 2hours. Can anyone tell me what to expect tomorrow? I'm all jittery but SO excited!!:rolleyes2:

sounds like its the appointment to go over all your vitals and paperwork and just a follow up before surgery i did the all day appointments and the all day at hospital getting all kinds of test done and yesterday i had my last appointment we did paper work and vitals and they went over everything i learned --how to eat -excersise -- and finally i was done it took about 2 hours anyways my surgery is october 5th they also went over instructions for after surgery and the diet before and gave me my prescriptions to get my pain meds before surgery sooooo thats prolly what your going to do prolly will get your surgery date

Think of any questions or concerns that you have that you would like to discuss with your surgeon. Now is the time to do it.

I just had mine last week. All we did was go over my health.

I answered some questions, and it was determined if I needed to participate in a sleep study or not. As well as what to expect. I also asked some questions.
