SARAHNEW 9 Posted June 3, 2022 Good afternoon to one and all. I have taken my first step on the journey to being able to schedule my surgery. This Wednesday, June 8 I have my webinar session needed to be able to see the doctor. I know this is required but what did other people think of it when you had to watch it? 3 FarfelDiego, GreenTealael and summerseeker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,024 Posted June 3, 2022 I’m not sure if it’s the same but I had to watch an informational video about the different surgeries. It was pretty helpful when I talked to the surgeon I wasn’t totally clueless at least. 1 Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to watch a 20 minute informational video before I could schedule my first appointment. It was no big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to attend a webinar where the Dr went over each surgery in depth with the pros and cons. At the end of the presentation he answered any questions we had. I had watched several videos and talked to my friends who have had bariatric surgery (both bypass and sleeve) so was pretty informed already However I still found it useful.

catwoman7 11,220 Posted June 4, 2022 they didn't have Webinars back when I had mine seven years ago, but I had to go to an informational session (they had them scheduled once a month) where one of the surgeons from the practice spoke. They mostly just went over the different surgeries, talked about the benefits of weight loss surgery, and entertained questions. But yes - it was required. I'm glad I went because that's what convinced me I needed to have this done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SARAHNEW 9 Posted June 4, 2022 Thank you all. The webinar session is going to be going over the different procedures and the pros and cons with a doctor talking about it. I am glad to hear for some it was helpful. I am trying to get all the information I can to make the correct decision for myself. I believe in gathering all the information you can Good and Bad before, making a life-altering decision like this. 1 lroever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
