Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I have never heard about a 3 month post op class nor has anyone informed me about one. I am 4 months post op and I wonder what the class is about.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi! I had my srugery on March 6th in Richmond with Dr. Im. At my 4 week follow up appointment he gave me a slip for lab work and I was to have it drawn 1 week before this 3 month follow up class that is meeting tomorrow. It is my understanding that there wil be about 10- 12 people at this class and that there is a case manager, surgeon and nutritionist there. The Dr. reviews all of the blood work and lets you know if everything is where it should be at the 3 month mark. The nutritionist, Beth, talks about moving on to Phase 4, the final phase of the diet and addresses any questions or food difficulties that people have had. This is what I've been told by other people who were in my 14 week Bariatric Prep class that we have to take in Santa . This appointment was scheudled automatically for me along with another meeting that would have been a 4 month class that I have heard is with a psychologist. I had to cancel the 4 month meeting as I'll be on vacation and I'm bummed about that. I'm going to try to get into the next one. It is my understanding that some time just after the first of the year the sequence of follow up appointments changed - maybe that's why you didn't get scheduled. If you had surgery in Richmond though, you should definitely give them a call - if for no other reason than to get your blood work checked. Like you, my weight loss is not very fast (48 pounds in 3 months,most in the first 6 weeks, and quickly slowing) - and I'm only 41 - so I'll be curious to see if my blood work is a bit out of whack! Good luck - but definitely make sure that you've gotten your blood work done.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Help. What time is the meeting? I live 3/4 of an hour away from richmond and I am afraid that if I don't find out about it until 9 AM it will be too late.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi Lilka-- Sorry, I didn't see your message until this evening. Give them a call - it is a group meeting, but it is scheduled as an appointment - it's not a drop in sort of support group. There was a lot of good information shared this afternoon. Be proactive and give them a call and make sure that you haven't been forgotten and that you get your blood work taken care of. It seemed that most people who were there today had lost between 40 and 50 pounds at the 3 month mark. So if you fall somewhere in there, you are right on track.
