What should I expect?.....TT appointment
Congratulations on reaching this point.
I don't know what your ps will do/ask/discuss, but with mine it went like this:
I went in to the exam room and was given his before/after book.
He came in and told me about himself, asked me questions about my weight loss, etc. He talked about possible procedures.
He gave me a robe and panties to change into.
He came back and had me stand. He then went around my body and lifted parts to give me an idea of what his procedures would do for me. This process helped me visualize the end results. He then had me pose for pictures.
He left and had me get dressed. He came back in then we talked about specifics about what I wanted done.
After that, I went back to the waiting room while they prepared my estimates. I went back in and talked over the cost with the office manager. Then I went home.
I had to go for a CT scan to determine if one of the odd bulges he saw was a hernia (which it was). He also prepped the initial paperwork to insurance to see what they would cover (nothing in my case). I then made the decision to go forward with what I wanted.

Thanks for posting this question as I was wondering the same thing, now that I've scheduled my first consultation.
I was hoping to hear that you get to meet the surgeon for the first time with your clothes on, so THANK YOU for your answer, Lisa!
