Finally, after several phone calls to the Civic they've given me dates for the pre-op clinic and to meet my surgeon.  It's Dr. Mamazza and I'm not sure I like the few ratings he's had on the one website.  Anyone else had any dealings with him?  I see him December 2nd.

I found Dr Mamazza to be quite personable.  I was very nervous, though, and kept talking over him.  I've been approved for the sleeve and am just waiting on a date.
