IM attending the learning session next week.... What happens there? What will be next?

Your doctor's office has a list of things/sessions/classes to fulfill. I recommend you getting a schedule of what is next. The reason I'm saying this is my docotr's office only has 1 weight reduction seminar a monthe, then you must wait other 30 days before it is available. There will be a nutrition class by a dietian and then your docotr might have a seminar discussing the procedure.

If your doctor has a web page all this information is probably on his page and you will know when the seesions are ahead of time. Some of mine I would have to drive 1 hour away if I missed it locally.And its hard to determine what you will find out at a learning session since all doctors are different in how they approach weight reduction.

Best Wishes

Yes the doctors office requires you to attend this prior to making an appointment with the surgeon. I was just curious of what happens next and how soon etc. How are you feeling?

Depending on your insurance requirements and the requirements of the surgeon, you will complete pre-op testing (usually a psychologist visit, physical therapist, nutrititional evaluation, metabolic testing, complete blood tests, sleep study, etc).

Some insurance companies require a 3-6 month diet. Some require a list of all diets you've ever tried with corresponding time frames and weight lost. It really can vary.
