HOW BSCI TELE-SEMINARS WORK Tele-Seminars are telephone conferences. Each participant calls the same phone number. Once you're connected, you enter in a special code number that connects you to the Tele-Seminar. Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email letter with the telephone number to call and your participant code. Simply call the phone number on the scheduled day and time (long distance charges may apply) and enter your code. You will be connected to the conference. Sessions are approximately one hour in length and include Q & A segment, and weekly assignments.   BSCI Products Through our many years of research and experience as WLS patients, our BSCI staff has created a variety of books, workbooks and programs to meet the needs of new, veteran and back on tracker bariatric patients.
