I just found out there is a seminar this Tuesday night and i am excited I want to find out EVERYTHING since I am starting all this! My hubby is going with me he's being very supportive about all this so I am happy! I think he just wants back the hot wife he married but I will take what i can get! haha For those of you that have been to the seminar was it helpful? My insurance doesn't require it but hey it's free

The seminar can be really helpful. I actually went to 3 different ones (for a different Dr. each). Each time people asked different questions, so it was extremely helpful!

I think I couldn't have trusted my surgeon etc without the seminar. He covered various types of Gastric surgery, told us which ones he does and doesn't do (and why)...was well spoken, personable, and very knowledgable. I learned a lot from the seminar as well. And lastly, my DH (he's a nurse and has seen some real train wrecks from GBS gone bad) who was dubious, had his questions answered and his fears resolved. I think they are great! And if the one you go to doesn't educate you etc...then that's informative too...you may want a different surgeon!

Welcome and good luck!

I have been waiting almost 3 months for my seminar date to arrive, finally it's this Thursday~I wish I could just skip it all together however, since I have had my mind made up 100% for sometime already. It's a requirement with the Drs office however. I am just so anxious to get things in motion, esp that damn scale LOL!

I didn't want to waste time with the seminar either but my doc required it too. AND it was actually informative. My husband went with me and he learned a lot that he didn't know, it helped get him on board with the whole thing (He's a nurse and saw some bad stuff with GBS) So welcome, and hope your seminar is useful!
