UMASS Group

I have been cleared to start my classes at UMASS, a requirement before surgery and I am 33 pounds from my pre-surgery goal.

I did all of this through Fallon Clinic years ago and the classes were free.  UMASS charges a pretty substantial amount for their classes has anyone done the classes?  Do you know why they charge when other places don't? If you have gone through the group classes do you feel like you got what you paid for?

Either way obviously, being this close I am going to do the classes, I am just asking out of curiosity.  And of course I really do hope that the classes are worth the money. :)

Anyone here getting ready to start classes?? I should be in classes in probably 2 weeks or so. :)

The $400 you need to pay? I was wondering what that fee was. What classes are they? Pre-surgery goal? Who picks the number? From the first 2 hour required information meeting, how long until they book you for surgery?

Thanks!
