I have my initial consult scheduled for the 19th! I am so very excited. What should I expect at the initial consult?

Introduction to the team, weigh-in, some have a short video about the procedure, maybe meet with the NUT (nutritionist), maybe set all your appointments going forward, and answer your questions.

Such as - how many surgeries has he/she performed, percentage of complications and most prevalent ones, what kind of staples, what kind of stitches/glue on the stomach incisions, etc

Rescheduled to the 26th, I wanted a particular surgeon and this was the day he was available.

Its just like a normal Dr visit the doctor will look at your stats and make a suggestion on which surgery he think will work out for you and of course and can share with him your thoughts. Then they put you through to the coordinator who explains your benefits and gives you a list of things your insurance may want you to complete. Also they may set up your nutritional classes as well.
