I am really new to this posting thing, so any mistakes made please forgive me. I will be starting the options class at Kaiser Palmdale, CA. tomorrow on June 10th. I am so excited I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. I have so many plans in my head about what I will do with the lighter version of me. I'm a diabetic and I'm really, really hoping I can start my new life without insulin. I used to do so many things before diabetes and I'd really like to get back to every last one, and this time I'll appreciate life I whole lot more. I'm looking at this as a second chance, a redo, and I don't intend to waste it.

Hello and Congratulations! Monday will be class 7 for me, so I'm half-way through. I've had metal health exam and that seems to have gone okay, so now I just have to get my A1C below 8. My PCP nurse thinks I should be there by the time I get to meet with the surgeon. Have to spoken to the Surgeon yet?

I'd heard about that and I must admit I'm a little worried about it because I take insulin and insulin makes losing weight very hard, but whatever they ask me to do to get to where I have to go, they can consider it done.

Oh and please forgive my manners, Congratulations on almost reaching your pre-op goal.

Hello! It's good to hear from someone who knows what going on, because I don't have a clue. I just want everything to get going so I can make this change. I've got so many questions and I've looked up everything I can. I work in the library and it's kind of sad how lacking the library system is on this subject. They still have books on the Fobi pouch. If you have a minute could you enlighten me on how Kaiser works so far?
