I have my first appointment on July 24th.

What will they do then? They said it would be about an hour long.

any ideas

thanks

My first appointment was very basic.

They got my weight, Hight and then I got to speak with the Dr and let him know what surgery I was looking into getting (If you don't know they go over everything and help you pick the best procedure for you), after that I was sent to the "Insurance Specialist" who gave me a list of requirements my insurance would like to see to decide if I'll be approved or not.

Thanks!

It depends on the program your surgeon has designed. My first appointment consisted of a history and physical, ekg, chest x-ray, lung test, blood work and h. Pylori test. I talked to the dietitian and discussed my insurance requirements with the insurance coordinator. I was put on a diet that day as well and was referred for an egd. My whole process except surgery took two months. I did not have a 6 month diet or psych evaluation requirement. After my insurance approved, I was scheduled for surgery. I would of had it in May but I had to take care of a financial matter, so I am scheduled on June 25th.

I had my 1st visit today. About 40 minutes. Went over medical history discussed cignia insurance qualifications. I see him again in sept after I do 3 month supervised weightliss program required by insurance at that time we will diacuss procedure and schedule pre op semimar to attend. I am guessing all first visits are a little diffetent. I was suprised he did not ask why I wanted the surgery. I guess he could tell with all my health issues
