Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks everyone who responded. My husband is thinking about getting the surgery down the road and I think this might also be good for him to know what its all about. He also wants to be able to cook healthier meals and this may give him some ideas. Plus not knowing anyone its going to be a little lonely being in an area I don't know. Thankfully my mother in law has agreed to watch our son overnight so this gives him the opportunity to go with me! Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Lots of folks take a support person with them to all their classes. My DH went to orientation with me, but couldn't go to the next class - but I hope to get him to come along with me to Lifestyles 4 next month. It's good for several reasons - it helps if you have someone else listening, since everything can be kind of overwhelming, and it also helps to know that they're hearing all the things you have to go through as well. It kind of makes it " real " for them.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yes, you can. I took my husband and in fact they encourage you to bring someone. At least Richmond KP did. Best wishes to you.
