Pre-Op Nutrition Education class?

Hi All. I went to my nutrition evaluation and she stated there is a pre-op "teaching class" for nutrition for the gastric bypass. Does anyone know if this exists?? and if so, when is it?
Thanks to all!

Erica, yes there is a "pre-op" teaching class.  This is scheduled for you once you get your surgery date.  You have to attend this class or they will cancel your surgery.  it lasts 2-3 hours and in the class there will be a recovery room nurse (Kellie---she ran the group at RIH you were at), the dietician/nutritionist (sue manchester, she was also at the meeting), and physical therapy (probably Megan, she was also there but didnt say much).  It is a very informative class and is usually in the morning from what I understand, at least mine was.  Went from like 8 to 11 or so.  At this meeting you will also get your final weigh in.  Hope this helps

Thanks Brian! I knew someone would have the answer! I guess i thought it was more public but thats still good. It's also good that there will be familiar faces. Thanks again.
