Looks like you got the 411 already, just want you to feel comfortable with your first visit. My hubby came with me and he did not go to the back office to get weighed.
I remember seeing people being called in and I asked this one girl why and she said to get weighed. I sank and cringed. She was considerably larger than me, and offered a sympathetic "if I can do it, so can you!!! "
The nurse was kinder than she and made me step on the scale 2 times as she did not think I really weighed 285 lovely chunky pounds. Alas, both times it was true.

Sometimes us post opers attend one of these meetings, now that I am 10 months out and down most of my weight I may attend and keep you company....any one else!!!

Good luck! Do not be afraid, it is a new adventure and the journey is a blast!!!
