I had gone to different doctors because I wanted to make sure I was knowledgeable about what I was considering. All of them required a psych evaluation. One of them required that you meet with a doctor every month for six months. One of the doctor’s during the interest Zoom, did not discuss anything as it related to the surgery. I went in for an in person consultation with that doctor, and again spoke nothing about the surgery. I was already seeing a nutritionist prior to make a decision about have surgery.
Lastly, I had to move the surgery date from 11.30.20 to 12.21.20.
I think everything depends on who you select to be your Doctor. They all have different requirements. Everyone I say had very different requirements.
