Joan I got the band at the New England Medical Center. I had psych evaluation, nutritionist, Internist (like a physical), 8 weeks pre-surgery group one hour a week. A few days before surgery there are a bunch of things like EKG, breathing tests, ultrasound to look for gall stones, blood work, meeting with nurse, meeting with anesthesiologist. Richard
