What Happens At The Learning Session?

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.

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.
