First Surgeon Appointment

Hey All!!

I’m going through the process to get the gastric sleeve surgery and just stumbled on this forum. My insurance requires 6 months in our weight loss program before you can get the surgery. I started in April so hopefully end of October, early November I will have my procedure. I see my surgeon for the first time next week (yay)! I notice some of you guys talking about getting an EGD, is this usually very common for the surgeon to require? And any questions to ask the surgeon that you found helpful?

Thanks!

I too am looking at a November surgery date. I started in May and my insurance requires 6 months as well. I have my next appointment on Thursday but I’m nervous because I haven’t lost any weight in fact I might’ve gained like 2 lbs

Did you try to adjust your diet before surgery??
