Hi, I am getting to go to a seminar tomorrow about the surgery. This is the first step for the surgeons here. I can't wait!!!!! I'm very curious what they are going to say, and I pray, hope, and have all fingers/toes crossed that the process will go smoothly.

Hope to be seeing y'all around a lot over the next year or so, and hopefully, having had surgery sooner than later.

Congrats! Just go and listen to the orientation and follow the directives as much as possible. This has been a great experience for me and I would do it again in a heart beat! Best wishes.

Hi there! The first step in my process was to attend the seminar as well. I started my process towards the and of October 2011 and I was sleeved on Jan 25th 2012. Good luck to you,the seminar was very informational for me. There were guests speakers that had WLS(none had the sleeve),a psychologist spoke,as well as the surgeon and his assistant doctors.

I think a seminar is a great first step towards WLS. Usually they are conducted by the surgeon and you can ask questions about the various types your surgeon performs. At mine, there was one couple that asked tons of questions that I had never thought to ask .VERY informative!

Yayyy how exciting
