As soon as you attend the seminar, they will call you in about a week to set up appointments to see a psychologist and do an evaluation and to see a nutritionist.
If they don't call you, call them so they can set up these appointments.
With the psych you can choose your own psych or choose Dr. Sosa's psych but you would have to pay out of pocket because he doesn't accept insurances ($150) and the nutritionist is $140.
Once you complete seeing both of them than you will be scheduled for a consultation with Dr. Sosa and the coordinator.
She schedules the surgery date that same day and you will have to take a H. Pylori Test at your local lab quest.
Once you pass that test (get a negative result) she will call you to come in and sign papers and she will give you a medical clearance form that you have to complete 5-7 days prior to the surgery date.
This whole process took me to complete within 1 month so it all depends on how quick you get all of this done.
