GeekyGamer 24 Posted November 2, 2012 I just finished the classes Sept. 14th at Fontana. Just had my 2nd Bari appointment and my Psych is Nov. 7th. I heard after that it goes fast, so i have hoping for sooner than later! Its kinda agrivating that they want you to be so strict about the classes then they take 2 months to get you a Psych appointment. But oh well, gives me time to prepare.

Jimbo_D 28 Posted November 2, 2012 How long r the classes? Like days and hrs.and do they work with you reaaon is i have work and im off at 300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeekyGamer 24 Posted November 17, 2012 It is the same time every week on the same day. I had Fridays at 11am but they do have them throughout the week at different times, I think even some night ones. I just got cleared through the Psych eval, so now its just a waiting game for the pre-op appointment for the surgeon! So excited. I started the classes the beginning of June with th orientation. You can miss a max of two classes, but if you miss a third they drop you and you have to start over, also they require you to make up any missed classes before you can get your secondary baratric appointment or psych. The classes themselves are an hour and half long. My class time was 9:30 to 11:00 am. If you have any questions you can def. message me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
