So I am at the beginning process of WLS.. I just started last month in Jan 6,2012 and from what I was told the first 3 months are called weight management.  I've already done the first 2 next month is my last weight management appointment. I was wondering if anyone can give me more information of what the purpose of the first 3 months are??? and what is coming after????
Please and Thank You

 i'm guessing this is a part of your program? i would assume it's similar to the "supervised diet" that insurance companies require patients to go through to make sure that you can be compliant with a diet regimen. i would ask your surgeon or whoever runs these appointments what their purpose is and what comes next. every program is different.

I am not quite sure I understand your question. But my insurance required 6 months of supervised diet documentation (I went to my PCP). I just went to my doctor for 6 months and told her what diet/exercise regimen I was doing. She recorded it and recommended what could help. Thats it.

I think its just so insurance can see that you cant lose weight on your own?

O0o0o I see well I seen my surgeon on my first appointment and I've only been seeing my nutritionist.. so I guess you guys are right. I mean I knew that I was going to be seeing the nutritionist since my first appointment but I just thought I would be seeing my  surgeon as well...

 i saw my surgeon when i went in for my consultation and then the last appointment before surgery he popped in, and my first post-op appointment he came in for maybe 5 minutes and poked around my stomach and that was it. i see his physican's assistant for all my appointments.
