Hi, im a bit confused. I am required for my 6 month supervised diet. After im approved for my wls, who is the one sending me to see the nutritionist, psych, cardiologist etc. Is it my pcp, or wls doctor? Or can I do these tests while I am on doing my 6 month diet?

I did the 6 month diet with my pcp. My center wanted me to use their nut, psyc, ect. It depends on your situation if you need to see a cardiologist. I was given an RX for an EKG from my center and that was good enough that I didn't need a cardiologist. Make sure you work with both your wls center and your pcp.

Your center will coordinate all of the testing for you.  One good thing about it is that when they are through with you, you will know how healthy you are.
