Seminar Day

Today was a pretty amazing day. I attended a weight loss surgery seminar hosted by the surgeons of KMC Bariatrics group. I went into the seminar, (which is a requirement before scheduling an initial consult with the surgeon) with a negative mindset, thinking that there would be nothing further for me to learn about the surgical options. I was kind of impressed by the questions that were asked by the audience, and some of them I never would have thought to ask. I was expecting to be off work for 4 weeks minimum, however the answer to that question was 1-2 weeks. I am a registered nurse and my job can be kind of strenuous at times so that was great information. I also wasn't expecting to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days, I just assumed it would be overnight. The other thing that I was surprised about is there is no pre-op diet. My next step is finding out what is required by my insurance company for approval!
