Tonight was my first meeting in awhile regarding the WLS. It was a group intro session… they had a staff person from Unity talk… and she is 7 years post-op herself. BTW, I realize these posts are getting long and maybe boring… but what do you want me to do? I’ll try to start finding some sort of inspirational or maybe at least humorous images to go along with these posts in the future.
I got there just in time for the meeting. I don’t think all the people there were possible patients… folks are encouraged to bring a support person with them. There were maybe 9-10 guys out of the over 50 there… including myself. The presenter mentioned knowing what it was like to be “here”, to be sitting in this room, all nervous. I’m not though.
I think I’ve learned a lot about this whole deal, but I started getting more details I haven’t found elsewhere… gonna run through them here… now, if you are reading this cause you are looking in to this, one thing I should mention that I discovered tonight - different hospitals will do things slightly different. What I list here may not be how the hospital you check out does certain things.
