I'm sure this varies from doctor to doctor... but I see many major WLS doctors offer information seminars on WLS. If you attended one, did you find it helpful? Did they go over the bad as well as the good? Did you leave feeling more empowered to make a decision, or did it feel like you were just being given a sales pitch?
I'm thinking about going to a seminar either before or a few months after the baby is born. I think I am finally getting my husband to see the merits of considering WLS... but he is very skeptical and sensitive to "sales tactics"... so I don't want to take him to one of these if it'll just turn him off from the idea. He just wants to cold, hard facts.
What are your experiences with these seminars? Am I better off just going directly in to a one-on-one consultation with a doctor/surgeon?
Thanks for sharing your opinions and experiences! I love the board - I'm learning so much here.
