I finally got my appointment for the group session! Whoot whoot !  I am going June 13, anyone else on here going to that one?  How many people are usually at the group session and whats it all about?

Thanks!

I went Dec 16th.  There was about 10 of us, we met in a meeting room at St. B but that location might have changed.  We had a presentation by Dr. Andrews on the different surgeries available, the differences in between them, why one might be better than another for certain people, etc.  We had a question period for him (we peppered him with all kinds of things haha) and then Laura (the NUT) had a presentation on nutrition and exercise, gave us a folder and entertained questions.  There will probably be another long wait between the info session and your actual Dr. appt. (but hopefully things will roll along quickly for you)   We also gave Laura $50 for the session and got some healthy snacks and a book called "The Undiet" which is about making life changes instead of "dieting" (kinda like a compilation from a Chatellaine magazine JMHO) 

It lasted about 2 hours

Thanks for the info!

when did you get your first acceptance letter?

My acceptance letter was dated Oct. 31st. 2011. It seems like a long time ago but it has gone by faster than expected!
