Roughly, how many people are in each info session for Dr B? Is it a very large class or just a few at a time? Tomorrow is the big day and I know at least 3 of us from this forum alone will be there. I'm just curious because I am so very shy. I am 1 pound heavier than when I had my consult in December so all and all, not bad considering the holidays. I hope they're not too down on me for it though.

In my session there were 5 of us.  2 lap band, 3 bypass.Its a small room and you get familiar very quickly.  no embarrassing at all.  we all went to the cafeteria and ate lunch together too.  Its a great session.  Take lots of notes, ask alot of questions and learn everything you can so you will pass the test with flying colours !!!!!  I know you will.  have fun.

Naw, don't worry about being up a pound at your info session. I was up almost 7 pounds. But this is it. After this you will be expected to lose from now on. They are not down on you about it. they didn't say a thing to me about it.

When I went to the info class there was only 1 man and me. The other 2 that were supposed to show up didn't. He was a real stick in the mud. No sense of haha.

There was no class per say. just a room with a big table that everyone sat around. I think it seated 7 people. So no big crowd. Just the nurse will give a slide show and talk. Then the psychologist gives a small talk. The dietitian will give a small talk. A guest speaker who already had either lap band or RNY will come in a give a little talk and that's it. Somewhere in there you will stop for lunch for an hour. It was fun and funny. I think you will like it.

At the end of the day, they bgive you a little questionere. True or false and pick the right answer, Simple. That's just so they know that you understood what they told you.

There were only 4 in my class. One person was a no show. I was the only lap band.
