So I have my social worker and dietician appoinments, I have my pt in place how many appoinment dio I have to go through before I get the surgery?

Hi Brian-Depends on how you are doing with weight loss and lifestyle changes. You can depend on at least one more if you are doing really great. Most people have 2 or 3 before they review your case. Ask Julie and Brenda at your meeting how many more they think you have to go to. Remember, each appointment usually takes a month. Tried to reply to you earlier but email address was bad. Keep up the good work! It will be worth all of your effort!

HI Brian, I had two appt.s. One set with one on one and last was in a group setting. Are you going to suport meetings also? Make sure you ARE NOT drinking pop and you have your food journal and excersice journal there also. (Mine was all in one****pt loosing weight and showed a big decrese in my food intake from the begining of my journal. They aslo want you to "own" your mental "demons" that can get in the way post-op with head games. They also want to see you eating 6-7 small meals rather then 3 big ones. Good luck and email me if you have more questions!!! Sarah G. 2/16/04 -152.
