I started with my 6 months of required PCP visits 5 months before I saw the surgeon. I knew I wanted to have GB surgery and I also knew the PCP visit requirements so I started them ahead of time. I saw the surgeon for the first time on 1/8/09, got my pre-requisite stuff done by the beginning of March. It took 3 weeks for the psychologists office to transcribe the psych eval and fax it to my surgeons office!
I had surgery 4/20/09. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
Good luck to you on your journey!
