Will lsomeone please tell me what happens at your 1st appointment.  I know every dr. is different but I would think they are in the same ball park.     

Also  what is nsv?

Thanks

NSV = Non scale victory.

At my first appointment with the surgeon,  we discussed my health history,  he explained all of the surgery options,  asked me about any questions I had about surgery,  he did a little physical, and he gave me a list of things to complete before my next appointment with him - bloodwork, diet class, psych eval, orientation, ekg, etc.  

Hope this helps!

Unless you are a psyciatric mess (which I doubt) you will likely be accepted provided your BMI is high enough and your general condition is good.  Typcially the only reason people are 'rejected' is they don't have enough weight to lose, or they have unreasonalble expectations.  those with very high BMI often have to lose some weight to make surgery safe for them.
