im using him. I was wondering how long the surgery wait is after all your pysc evals and nutritionists evals were done. please help asap!!!! I just dont want to have to wait forever to get the surgery.

I went to the seminar on 10/2, had the psych consult and appt with dietitician AND appt with Dr. Smith all in one day -- on 10/10, the pre op appt with the nurse on 10/18 and the surgery on 10/25. I found the whole process to be very quick. I was self pay so there wasn't any insurance red tape to go thru. I'm sure if ins is involved it could be ALOT longer no matter what doc you see.

Have you been to his seminar yet? If not, definitely do that and they will be able to give you a lot more info on the whole process.

Good luck!

yes, ive been to the seminar. thanks for the reply. Im scheduled for the consults on the 4th of dec. Im going to check and see if i can see the dr the same day. thanks so much. Ive already been approved by insurance but now I just have to get it done by the end of the plan year which is dec. 31st. UGH!!!!
