So i went in for the seminar last night..i loved it. The surgeon explain everything i was confuse about and i have my first appt on the 22 .. i also made an appoiment with the psych.and they said the eveluation is divided into two appts. The 1st one i have to go at 8 am for 3 HOURS !! i was like what ? Lol thats longer than the surgery itself . Anyone know why so many hours ?

Nope. Mine was a 1/2 hour conversation about my eating habits, weight history, willingness to follow doctor's orders, and my motivation for getting the surgery. This was at a major university teaching hospital in the big city.

Mine was only about 35 min also. 3 hours is crazy! I'd call your doctors office and ask about that. Doesn't sound right

That is awesome! I have step 2 done. I started medically supervised weight loss on March 2nd. I have to do it for 6 months. That's ok, I figured I would have to. That makes the 6 month mark in September when I turn 55. Happy birthday to me. You and I got this!

For mine, I had to do two visits also. The first was only about 30 minutes or so of reviewing my life and history. The 2nd was a couple of hours of answering about 500 questions on the computer.
