prettysleeved1 173 Posted September 5, 2012 1st appointment, you probably won't get a surgery date. They weigh you, ask what surgery you want, give you the facts and stats., determine a goal weight, and answer any questions you may have. My surgeon examined my stomach and asked if I had any comorbidities/prescriptions. They will probably also let you know what the prerequisites are for your insurance company, if any. I didn't get a date until my insurance approved me. Some doctors do it before (which personally I feel is unwise hence all the let-down/disappointment stories of people getting a date and then their insurance not approving it). To be honest, my first appointment was the longest appointment I've ever had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
