What are the stages in the process?

I wanted to find out from everyone, especially since the hospital really doesn't give you a lot of information, what the steps are in the process. I know that you need to see the dietician and behaviorist but not sure how many times. If anyone could shed some light on the process, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roxanne!  I'm a newbie, so not a lot to tell you, other than I too would love a timeline or hint! I had my orientation on the 17th of August and waited till four weeks ago for a response. I've got an appointment on Dec 10th this Monday to see the nurse. I'm soooo excited!!! Let you know what they tell me!  Have a great weekend!

Hello

I am Mary, really i don't remember when was my first appointment almost 2 year ago. I saw my doctor almost 8 times. i finish all my test cardiology, sleep test, abdomen ultrason, blood test. I had a appointment with behaviour and nutrition doctor one month ago. Nutrition send me to change my eat habit, so i work on that now. I don't sure what is the exactly waiting time, I saw person who don't wait to much and other who wait for more time. I hope my day is close.

Good Luck.
