Karla Mine was at 7am in Richmond, we were done about 9am, then you had to get weighted in and once you were done with weigh in you could leave. Just bring a paper and pen, so if there's any information you want to write down. Take any questions you might have with you, so you can get any you have already to be answered. You should start a journal that day with your weight and starting that day you will start the 1200 calories diet and you should log everything, food, water and exercise. Hope this helps.

Congrats!!! I'm doing mine at Richmond Kaiser. One of the case mgrs,

believe it's Pam, runs the orientation, and then there will be a

presentation by one of the surgeons. They will show a video of the

surgery, if you want to leave the room and not watch you can do that.

They will also have the nutritionist, Beth, talk to you about the 1200

calorie diet. Any questions you wanna ask that are broad and feel

everyone might be wondering too, ask, but if it's specific might wanna

wait.

I had mine in Aug 2005, and then nutiritionist appt was roughly 1 month

later. Ttrue they say not to loose weight until the orientation,

because thats the weight they use. I did loose weight before

orientation, because it took a few months to get the date. I don't

regret it, because in the end the more weight you lose before surgery

the better off you will be. So once I reach goal I'll be 45lbs lighter,

which is about 13.6 loss instead of 10% required.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I've been through richmond

orientation, nutrition, surgeron consult, 2 classes, 1 support group.

way to go!!!
