Emmi Program

I've watched 3 of them now, just wondering if all Surgeons have you do this? I find them really helpful and informative.

I guess not cause I don't have the faintest idea what an emmi program is.

They really helped with the pre-op information phase. I seen them through the My lapband website.

Yes, my surgeon had us sign up for the Emmi program at the informational seminar. I was fortunate that I had already gotten quite a bit of info from my dietitian from my 6 mo med supervised diet, but appreciated that the videos are sequential to the banding process. Definitely a good information program for those who want more info and enjoy getting the info off the net

Emmi - is a online program that is a little tutorial for your journey with the lapband. 1st one I watched (the Dr. office gave me a sheet with a code to log in with) was before surgery, and what to expect, 2nd one was 4-6 weeks postOp, prior to any adjustments/fills, 3rd is about adjustments/fills. They give you an opportunity to asked your Dr. questions (which they answer you at your appointments), they give you an idea what the band looks like after surgery, why you wait to eat solids due to stomach swelling etc.

I'm glad we weren't required to watch them. I'm not fond of online videos. I'd rather read. Glad there's different ways of getting info for different styles of learning.
