That all sounds doable, yay! What's the exercise class all about? Oddly enough , I actually really like working out lol, although I have made a point not to until I get my first weigh in, I don't want to accidently lose 5lbs by some miracle and not make the bmi required lol, I'm not against putting a 2lb weight in my pocket .

The exercise "class" is just an information type thing. They will have you walk for 6 mins and get your heart rate abs go over some things you should be doing. Nothing stressful at all. You'll see them 3 times during the program both before and after surgery

Hi all! I'm right on the NH border in MA close to Salem. I'm in the middle of this journey. Met with surgeon already. Have yet to meet with psych and nutritionist. It's nice to see some locals here!

Lol... They don't list the classes on line. It will be one day a week, I think mine was on Mondays, for 6 weeks. You will have to call and get in the list for the next round of classes . I really enjoyed the class and got a lot out of it.

Awesome. Thank you again!!

It went really well, it was informative, I handed in all my paperwork and now I'm just waiting for my stupid PCP office to do their job and actually fax over my records, if they had, I would already have been able to schedule my 3 required appts! Woooo

That's great to hear!! Hopefully your PCP will send the stuff over soon so you can get started!

Not to bad. This one was easier for me then the first surgery. I guess being in better shape may have helped!! Thank you for asking

Good to hear ! I also thought of another question, when you go to that 1st appointment with the nutruonist , is that the starting weight they go by? I'm worried that I'll by some stroke of crap luck lose just enough to not qualify.
