Pre qualifications

Ok I need some info. I just talked to Joyce and I go to the first meeting on April 24th. She is very nice and explained to me that I attend the meetings and have to pass prequalifications and then if I pass I go to see Dr. McDevitt re: Lap band. Has anyone been thru this with this doc and can anyone tell me about the pre-qual. process. I am so scared that I will fail.  HELP  I am nervous.  Thanks all  Melissa

Hey Melissa, trust me, it something that most if not ALL of us have been through. I had to attend 2 different meetings, one was a seminar of sorts where they told you about all the risk involved & some of the things that would be required of you ie, I had to see a shrink to make sure I was crazy enough to have surgery lol, Heart Dr had to sign off saying my heart was OK, all kinds of blood work & also other things that the Insurance company required, BUT sounds like your Dr is like my Group in that you have to attend a Support Meeting & a Seminar before you ever get to get an appointment with the Dr....you will  do Fine !
