So i was told I wont see the actual surgeon until i am approved for surgery. But this friday I have my 1st class/orientation, and I was wondering what to expect?

the office coordinator told me it will be about 2 1/2 hours.

Im going to the office of Dr. Peter Leport and SMart Dimensions.

That sounds odd, Most of the places I looked insisted on meeting the surgeon. It just be their process, but Dr. Oliak lead the seminar I went to.

Hi, I just found this forum tonight while 'surfing' - WOW what a wealth of information.

My banding is booked for the 27th of April and I decided to keep a blog of the 'consultation' process only because I didn't find allot about the nitty gritty when searching. I will continue to Blog my journey as I go.

Hope it's of some use to you.

I went to the seminar last night and the surgeon was the one giving the presentation and then after he explained the operative course he handed the microphone over to the person who does the insurance thing and gave us more concise information on the ins and outs.

Good luck

Thanks, that helped! Im getting so excited. THey told me the class was gunna be about 2 hours long, so Im so excited to be that much more educated by tomorrow.
