I see a lot of people go to a pre surgery class. When does that happen? I have to see the RN, SW, and nut in three weeks. Will they book the class then?

Hey Sylvie, well my class is March 6th, after your file has been approved and you have been cleared to have surgery you have the class about a month or 2 before your surgery. Its an education class to teach you what to eat after surgery, vitamins you will need etc. Its kinda of a last step thing before surgery. Not sure how they book them at your center but they would not book mine until I was cleared. Hope that helps.

Hi Sylvie,

I went to 2 seminars at TWH.  The first was in introductory seminar and the second was called the nutrition seminar and wasn't the last thing I had to go to to get approved. 

After the 1st seminar, I saw the social worker,  and then I saw the nurse-practitioner & had the nutritional seminar on the same day.  After that, I saw the psychologist, and NUT on the same day, and finally the surgeon.

Since they are calling it a pre-surgery class, you might not be at TWH. 

I think that they will probably book your seminar when you see the RN, SW, and NUT in 3 weeks.
