Hi! I have been struggling with weight loss for about 4 years now after I had my son. I finally got online to see how can I get help. I seen that I could schedule a consultation with a bariatric doctor because I prequalified by the answers of their questions. I have high blood pressure & sleep apnea. I'm so new to this and I just wanted to be put at ease on what's the steps after your first consultation with the surgeon & what should I look forward too. I have a consultation coming up the second week in January! I'm nervous yet anxious at the same time. I'm sure some can relate!

I am not sure what the procedure will be at your clinic but my initial consultation was informative. They checked my weight, height. Gave me a lot of information regarding the surgery, pre-diet, and post. Possible complications. They took my insurance information to verify my coverage and find out the requirements.

I had my consult in July and my insurance required a 90 day supervised program. I completed that December 6th and had my surgery December 13th.

Thank you soo much for your response. I contacted my insurance plan this morning and she did assure me that it will be 100% covered & that there is a 3 month medically supervised weight diet requirement. Which is okay with me!!!! Im looking to get the gastric sleeve. After doing my research, it seems like a lot of people have great outcomes with that specific procedure.
