Can anyonshare what your experence was like at your first Clinic Vistit in Edmonton was like?

I have my first appointment on March 1st.  What kind on info do they go over for the initial assesment, do they count any weight lost while waiting to get in the program?

I have taken almost all the weight wise classes already while waiting for the appointment and have done some research, but I am interested if anyone has  some experences to share?

I hear the program has changed since my first visit 2 years ago but my first visit was nerve wrecking, exciting and emotional all the same time.
I seen the nurse, nutritionist, Dr Sharma. He is the worst and gets very indepth with his question. After talking with him, he sat in from of me and dictated into his little recorder what I had told him and seriously it was such an eye opener hearing my words coming from his mouth. I at that point in time wasn't looking to have surgery done. I wanted to find out why I was obese and not able tlose weight on my own.
As for  info they go over the general concerns of being obese, they will do blood work and dietary assessment. They will flat out ask you if you are wanting surgery and if you have done your research about the type of surgery you are interested in. You will go home with a wealth of info that will help you on this journey.

Good Luck,
Kee.
