A psych eval. I have a super high BMI, so he wanted me to have a cardio and pulmonary eval. If you call and speak to Angie, she will walk you they what you will need for them. It will all depend on your BMI and insurance. I worked with Angie since feb. she is awesome and thanks to her, I had everything done before my insurance mandatory 6 month diet was over.

He will do an EGD. They will schedule that at your first appt. Sounds like your all set! The first visit is him going over the surgery and the risks. After my EGD I had a follow up visit. I already had my surgery date, so we also talked about the preop diet. Whatever your copay for surgery is, you will pay that 2 weeks before your surgery date. The hospital also. His preop diet is strict. Clear, sugar free liquids only with 1-3 AdvantEDGE Protein Drinks a day for 2 weeks, but he said if he gets in there and the liver is to large, then he will close up and make me do

It for 4-6 weeks.....that's all he had to say. Lol. I started mine last Monday. After day 3, it gets much easier.

I also used Dr King, my surgery was June 18, 2012, I'm now down 130 lbs and this is the best decision I have ever made for myself! Good luck to all you North Mississippi sleevers!

So the advantage is the only shakes they will allow?? I've tried those and I jus cant tolerate them... But I did find some Protein that is tasteless .... I wonder if they will allow it??? Hmmm

Luckily I don't mind them. chocolate fudge is my fave out of them. He is truly a caring dr. And it shows. He also wants you to follow up with him once a year from now on. Something else I really liked.
