lovex5 25 Posted May 26, 2012 I attended my first seminar in April. I am switching programs so I have to wait to attend another one this summer. The one I attended was pretty straight forward. It was lead by one of the surgeons at the hospital's bariatric program. He had slides to show, went over stats of problems due to obesity/success vs fail rates of dieting with and without wls, explained in detail each surgical option and touched on who might be a good candidate for which surgery along with pros and cons of each. They passed around a book of before/after photos. They also had everyone fill out a little insurance info sheet along with a packet basically outlining everything the surgeon went over. Afterward he hung around for a while and answered questions for those who had them. The entire thing took about an hour. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
