TWH process questions
I did try to search, honest :) But I couldn't find anything recent with the search parameters I could think of.
As you can see by my siggy below how my appointments have been going. They don't need a sleep study they say, my blood work is excellent. Basically I am very healthy, just very fat! Are there more appointments after this? My psycometry (sp?) and nutritionist meeting are on the same day.
For those who have done this, what could the next step be?
Thanks :)
Its starting to feel real. Which is exciting and scary!

After your psych and nut, you go to rounds. They are done on Thursdays or Fridays (I can't remember). Once you're through rounds - which is where they all talk about your case to make sure they didn't miss a red flag - they will call you with an appointment to meet the surgeon. Surgery is generally 8-9 weeks after that date.
Hi! Sounds like you're similar to me - I've got no health issues except for that I'm really fat :)
after your dietician and your psych appointments, you'll be "put into rounds" like someone else said. Then they'll call you with your surgeon's date. I think they called me 2 weeks later? It was late January... And my surgeon's appointment was April 1st (so 2 months later). At my April 1st appointment they gave me my surgery date which is June 13th.
So exciting! What are rounds? I don't remember those being discussed in previous appointments.
