Medical Weight Loss Phase Question

How often should I see my surgeon during this process? I'm on month 3 and awaiting a date, but I feel quite distant from my surgeon having spent time with nutritionists and nurses during this time. Is this normal?

I only saw my surgeon once after the actual surgery, I think it was about six weeks after.

Call your surgeons office and tell them where you are in the process and they will tell you the next steps, including when to come in for a consultation.

Last time I saw my surgeon was as he was wheeling me back for my surgery back in October. It's a huge practice full of nurses that have all had one of the wl surgeries, bariatric doctors, pa that assist the surgeons.

I feel very well taken care of in every way. That said, I've got a clear breakdown of what appts will taken place with whom and when layed out in my binder.

Call the office and ask set your mind as ease sooner than later. It would drive me nuts not knowing either.
