Woohoo Linda - my pre-op is the same day! Maybe we'll be crossing over together. Good luck girl!

There is a Pre-op Nutritional Seminar and a Nutritional Support that has to be completed before surgery as well.

Linda,
The next Pre-op support Group is on Sept 1 at 6pm.
Next is Early Support Group on Sept 6.
Dietary Support Group at 6 on Sept 14.
Then General Support Group at 6 on sept 15.
Another Dietary Support at 6. onSept 28.

My reccomendation is Sept 1, Sept 6 and/or Sept 15. They are all good to go to.

Then either dietary support (required)

Let me know and if you want to, we can car pool.
M

Are these seminars open to anyone, or are they like the education seminar where you have to have an invite?? Or do you have to have other ducks in a row before going to one of them? For example do you have to have all of your evals complete, or do you not go until your paperwork is in and complete? I dont want to bum rush the process as I am just getting started. But I very much want to get accomplished everything that needs to be done in a timely manner.

Patience is a virtue, and one I need to get a bigger grasp on.

Aunny.... the other two you can just attend. Just arrive in plenty of time because they fill up quick. I attended all three classes before I even had my referral.
