Classes

[northstar9148 82]

My insurance, which is Molina, doesn't offer any classes. I wish they did. I would love this!

Does anyone, who may have attended these classes, have any info they would like to share on some of the things they may have learned in class?

I would really appreciate it.

I've learned a lot on this forum and it's great, but I thought someone may have a new perspective. Thanks

My classes were conducted by my surgeon's office/NUT and not insurance. Have you met with your surgeon? They may have classes or one-on-one counseling.

If you google bariatric center of excellence patient manual you should be able to find some helpful information.

My insurance doesn't offer or require anything, but the hospital where I hope to have my surgery has a support group. I went on Thursday night and although it was a small group of folks I found it informative. It is conducted by a nurse who works with bariatric surgery patients so being able to ask her questions was awesome. I would like to find another group or two where I could meet patients IRL and ask questions, still looking for that.

Same boat here. I'm relying heavily on online resources tho. There is so much out there!

It's way too much to give on here but I could email the information to you. I had to go through 7 monthly classes. From learning to read labels to how to cope emotionally post op. DM me your email and I'll work on it for you

If you read these two books thoroughly, you'll get most of the info you would get in the classes. Don't let the titles sway you, they are solid resources.
