St. Bernidines ...that's in San Bernadino?? I was told that the psych dept is different. As long as I had kaiser I can call the psych dept for any area to. Make a appt

So kaiser fresno do not require the 12 week option classes? That's crazy...I enjoyed the classes though..they do prepare you for what's to come...but I love your 6 week time frame! How are doing with your weight loss?

Ok...just a little...lol...what kaiser r u with??? Its crazy how calling to bug them to get in sooner is going to be a part of my daily routine...like brushing my teeth...good luck to u ...with getting a sooner appt...can u travel to another kaiser to get a sooner appt???

@fatgirlslim....y were u denied??? Was it the same reason both times???

I hope so

I know...thank u all for your replies...I said all of the above... I can njoy summer, at least it was approved, the time will pass, etc....I am grateful that all I have to pay is a 20.00 copay for surgery and not out of pocket...I am ok with the date...and the nurse gave me a open invitation to call daily to see there are any cancellations...so I might luck out...but now at least I know my next step

Ok...maybe that is a little much, but im freaking disappointed. I got approved by Kaiser for surgery....happy about that....but I am referred to Dr David Suh...n the soonest consult date is July 19th...I was really hoping to have had surgery by this day....Oh well... I guess by expecting this, is the reason I am disappointed with July 19th, guess that means surgery will be mid august ...... Damn damn damn!!..... Ok I feel better.... but on the flip side from start to surgery will be about 6 months exactly...so I can't complain....but I will say......Damn Damn Damn...ok im done!! Lol

Im going thru Kaiser in Riverside...What about you??

I have so cal kaiser too, I am having surgery with a dr that contracts with kaiser. He sends u to have a psych eval with his therapist, but i choose to do it with kaiser..which was a hour and simple. I am also playing the 2-3 week waiting game! Good luck to u!

Ok...met with the dr on may 2nd...n due to me retaining Water when on my menstrual, he told me everything was good and 2 come back n a week to do a weight check. So I went in today, and those xtra 7 lbs were gone so he submitted my referral !!! Now my question is, how long does it take from the time the referral is submitted to get approved? ?? Just curious cause everyone, even the Dr. called this part the waiting game.
