VSG Pre-op class and support group

[ChynaDollMUA 23]

I have a pre-op class today. Anyone participate in the pre-op class? What questions did you have for your surgeon? I’m trying to get all of my questions together! Any advice for the pre-op class??

It's great that you're being proactive getting your questions together. Since you're already doing that, my advice is to keep your ears wide open. Listen not only to the answers you get, but also the questions & answers the doctors & other patients have. Be open & you'll learn something you didn't know you didn't know or at least develop empathy to understand what others are going through. You are not alone. Good luck!

Thanks so much!! I’m always wanting to learn everything I can in any situation so I am extremely excited about learning as much as I can! Thanks so much for your advice

Our pre-op class gave us a ton of materials, but I brought a notebook to make my own notes - I've found that for me, writing it down in my own hand makes it true. You may find many of your questions are answered as part of the presentation. Do make note of brands that they recommend that are available to you locally. And if you don't have a food scale, as for recommendations on a scale - as I have found that to be my most valuable tool over the course of the last year and a half.
