You just go over all the choices and information in regards to the surgerys in a group setting. At the beginning you get weighed and BP taken then at the end You will see Kevin and he will do a quick checkover to let you know if he thinks your a canidate.

Not sure if you have attended one of Dr. J's seminars. If you did it is alot of the same information. The whole consult and pre-op appointments are done in a group setting. Then afterwards you go over your insurance and then see Kevin for your one on one. If you haven't attended his seminar you may not meet him until your pre-op appointment. Dr. Jawad is an excellent surgeon so you are in good hands. I won't kid you it is a long day if I remember correctly its about 4 hours. The pre-op once your approved is an all day thing, you see Dr. J and then to the hospital later. You must bring another adult with you for that appointment. You will be given lots of info and scrips for all the testing and a few numbers for nutrionists, gall bladder ultrasounds, and few others. Dr. J is one of the few surgeons that requires a "G" tube with his surgery for bypass. It can be an inconvience but is your own insurance policy against dehydration. This is in place 5 - 6 weeks. Good luck on getting approved.

He is THE BEST! After searching, interviewing, reading, and gathering statistics (including speaking to former patiets) of every Bariatric Doctor and Hospital in most of Florida for over 2 yrs., I decided on Dr. Jawad. I am scheduled for RNY surgery May 14, and i couldn't be more confident in my choice! He has done well over 2000 of these procedures, and has very low complication rates. If you haven't visited one of the support groups, they hold one in Ocala (which is about 90 miles from me!) and one in Orlando each month. You can talk with, and learn alot from others who have had surgery there.
