I've called once a week sense my intake class (first step)3 weeks ago and my Dr office always say we will call you to schedule a appt I will have all my pre required test done by med September,I need a two week notice to ask for time off work getting very irritated I have to use this office it's a sister hospital of the one I work at and they won't let me sch the nutrition and procedure class (which they only do once a month)until I see the Dr....just venting

I totally understand the frustration. My doctor would not schedule surgery until they received all of the pre-surgical clearances from: cardiologist, pulmonologist, and psych. Those seemed to take forever! Hang in there. It will come together. Waiting is hard.

Finally got my first surgeon appt. for September 4 should have all my pre required test done by late September feeling better

thats so weird i saw the surgeon first then the paitent cordinator then the nut now i have all the battery of tests and my 6 nut classes then i am done is that unusual to meet the surgeon first just wondering

When I had that first intake class (group setting class) we were given a check off list and told we could start on that and we couldn't see the Nut until we seen surgeon I guess all weight loss center have different protocol
