That is so cool! Congrats again, I can't wait. What was your starting BMI? Did everyone in your Options class get referred for surgery?

Hi! Wow, congrats! I can't wait to be where your at. You mean post op as in you've already had your surgery? I'm going to the Panorama City Kaiser. My first Options class is next Tuesday and I'm soooo anxious to hurry and get this all over with. =)

I'm with Kaiser So Cal and am also borderline BMI at 40. 99something... I just got referred and already went to the orientation. I have my first class starting the second week in May and I've heard so much about them wanting you to loose a percentage of your weight & I'm really nervous that at the end of the Options program they will deny me... argh, kaiser really makes you jump through hoops! So, just as you were, I'm really trying for once in my life NOT to loose any weight so that I will hopefully be at a higher BMI at my first official weigh in #crossingfingers Sent from my iPhone

Hello Everyone! I am trying to find out for a friend who has Medi-cal (LA Care) if they approve/cover bariatric surgery? I was telling her she should really look into getting referred but she isn't sure if they even would offer it to her.

I just went to Kaiser's So Cal Options orientation on 4/15... Can't wait to start my first class in May! I've been pretty worried about going through the 12 classes and be denied at the end. I don't have any comorbodities and my BMI barley hit the mark at 40.... Did any of you who've been through Options have anyone in their class that had a lower BMI and was denied a referral?

Thank you! Wow, that was pretty fast! My PCP is in Downey but I xferd the referral to Pan City... I hope my journey is as quick!

Ive just been referred, I have my upcoming orientation to the options program.... really excited. Which Kaiser are you doing it at?
