I got my orientation date on Friday. It is for Sept 13 17. I was shocked when they told me it was 7 hours long!! What exactly should I expect?

Mine was less than 2 hours at TWH. And 40 minutes of that was watching a movie...which I had already watched while doing my research!!

Sounds like yours will be very informative.

When I had my orientation at Sudbury it was 3 different presentations and filling out paperwork. They(social worker and dietitian) talk about everything to expect and how your diet will change. It is very informative. I registered at 8 and went down to the meeting room around 8:15(ish) we had a break for lunch and I think we were done by 3.

Mine at the BMI clinic in Ottawa was 1 hour. 7 hours is crazy.
