As a prospective sleever, what would you have liked to have be told?

I have just had a phone call from my surgeons receptionist. She has asked me to talk at an information seminar they are holding TOMORROW night. Ekk!! I haven't been to an information session, so I have no idea what they are like!

Do you have some thing particular you think I should mention? I am surprised they want to hear from me, the first few months were pretty difficult! I will read through my blog tonight to refresh my memory, but I'd really like to know what others found helpful.

I think you should just be honest and tell about your experience and answer any questions anyone may have. I am sure there will be alot.

Just tell them they will eventually be able to anything they want. It's not like the band where you better plan to give up certain foods forever. They should also know that even though they can eat anything, they can't eat very much of it. Some people get disappointed that the portion size they can eat is a very small portion.

Hi thanks for asking, I tended to ramble on a bit, but someone from another forum was there and she said I did ok! I had before and after photos to pass around as well!
