serenity55 15 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) My first consultation with my surgeon went very well. I met the registered dietician, patient liaison, and one of the other doctors in the office before I met the surgeon. I think it varies. He didn't try to persuade me to have any other kind of surgery. His partner asked questions that I can't even remember now. I met everyone but the psychologist, but I came away feeling taken care of and informed. I think some surgeons may do some kind of exam of the stomach. I remember having to fill out forms, and when I saw the dietician she had a model of the lap band and how it looks when it is around the stomach. I may have even had to watch a short film. . . I hope your consultation goes well. Be sure to let us know. Debbie Edited May 18, 2010 by serenity55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
