    Congrats on taking the first step with the appointment. Usually the surgeon talks to you about surgery and asks which one you would like to do (if you haven't specified already), makes recommendations

Congrats on taking the first step with the appointment. Usually the surgeon talks to you about surgery and asks which one you would like to do (if you haven't specified already), makes recommendations, answers questions. Then usually the insurance person comes in and talks to you about what the surgeon requires of you and what the insurance requires. And sometimes they may have you meet with the nutritionist on the same day depending on how your office does things.

Thanks for the info.

My experience was very similar to Misstxdiva. I met with the NUT a week later, but everything else was the same. Good luck!!!

Little bits

My first surgeon appointment was more of a chance for me to prove to the surgeon that I was a good candidate for WLS. They asked me lots of questions about past weight lost attempts, took measurements, health history of me and my family, even talked about support and changes this would have on my kids and husband. I had to meet their critera before he would procced. Hope that helps...it wasnt stressful because I just talked about myself.
