Depends on your insurance or if self pay. You need a psyche evaluation and medical clearance. Your insurance may ask you for 6mo to a year of supervised weight loss trial. (Not needed for self pay) Nutritionist meeting can occur as well. Finally surgical referral and baaammm you are a stapler sistah!!! that is how my MD does it.

I had to get a letter from my doctor and a phyc. exam before they submitted the paper work to insurance. Then I had my blood work and exam done this past Monday. Next thing for me is to meet with the doctor two weeks before surgery then I go in for the surgery.
