Planning Lap Band Surgery

Hi! Guess I'm going to be a newbie! I've met with the insurance girl, had my doctor write a letter (based on a model from my friend who had the surgery in Nov. 2010 ) , gave the insurance girl my proof of over a year of dieting- unsuccessfully! and met with the couselor. I have a meeting/consult with the doctor on April 26th .... When am I suppose to meet with the nutritionist? before surgery????

How long is the recuperation from the surgery???? I've read so much about what you can and cannot eat on lap band and sleeve, that now I have my info confused. I'm 99.9 % sure I'll go with the band instead of the sleeve--- I don't like the idea of having parts of me cut out! Plus, I need to be back to work in a short amount of time.

Some places don't require you meet with a nutritionist. If you are concerned, call your surgeon's office. If they don't have a nutritionist on staff, ask the office for a recommendation or try and find someone local who deals with bariatric patients.
