Only met with doctor once...

Ok, so I've been on this site for a few months and I've heard many talk about numerous doctor visits. I've had one preop visit, one psych call, one meeting with the nutritionist , and I have one appt to get labs before my 5/5 surgery. Should I be meeting with the doctor more often?

Sounds like my journey. I only met with my doc once.

I only met with the surgeon one time prior to the surgery and then once post op. But the rest staff at their office were all knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns I had. IMO as long as the surgeon surrounds themselves with good staff I dont mind not speaking to them directly every time I visit.

It just feels strange since I have so many questions and no one to ask. I'm not complaining Because this journey has been pretty easy but I want to be well informed

If you have questions, call up your surgeon's office, tell them you have questions and would like to schedule a pre-op appointment with the surgeon. I'd be shocked if they weren't happy to accommodate you even if it isn't standard practice. I know that's the way it works at my surgeon's practice.

Everyone program is different I had to do a 6 month weight management , meet with the nutritionist , get lab work, meet with the shrink, attend a exercise class, attend a pre surgery class, weigh in, support groups, and 2 4 hour meetings with the surgeon, as well as get on the waiting list of my surgery due to long wait list at the center of excellence it has now been 8 months and surgery is not until May 5 /14. They want to make sure you are very knowable about what is going on S well S they have the consultant help you the first year after surgery.
