I am 10 weeks away from finishing my 6 month program.. This is the worst. It's so hard waiting this long when I have completed all that is required of my insurance and MD. Kaiser still makes you finish all 6 classes. Is there any body else that is here with me? I am so scared of getting a denial when the day finally comes.

Who else has their last appointment in July? I am so ready to be done with this 6 month process that my insurance requires for this surgery. I am so anxious and scared that I will not be approved. I am looking for some support and mentors or buddies who is near the same phase I am. Hoping that I can have my surgery in August.

So today I had my last weigh in for my REQUIRED 6 month program through Kaiser Permanente for Bariatric surgery. By the end of the program you were to do a number of different things 1 which included to lose a certain percentage of weight. WELL..... I met the goal for the program and my case is now being forwarded to the board for review and approval. Im so excited I am done with the program and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get approved. If you want to know more about this program you can watch my videos @ Youtube.com/bsbeautymix. I am documenting my journey and i am so ready for this life changing experience. Please let me know what you think if you check them out. Who else is waiting for approval for surgery????

Hey, Im from nova or triangle va to be exact. I was just approved today for vsg!!!! Im sooooo excited. I will be having my surgery at holy cross hospital in maryland. Dont know when yet but at least i know its happening. I have been crying all day. This has been a long six months.

I am waiting for an answer too. I finished my 6 month program through Kaiser on july 13 and it was submitted on the 14th.... The wait sucks lol I'm hoping to find people that are going through similar steps as me so we can keep up with each other through this journey. My biggest feat is being denied. Hopefully we can keep in touch. Good luck!

thanks

I have kiaser and they require a 6 month program. I had 1 weigh in where I went up. It was an unexpected weigh in at one of our classes. My nut said stay focused and she gave me some tips. My next weigh in I was back on track. I have my last weigh in, in 20 days. I'm so ready to be done with this program and on to the surgery. So I would say dont fret. Challenge yourself to do better next month. Thats what I do. Good Luck!

Hey everyone! I have a youtube channel where I am vlogging my weight loss journey check it out when you get a chance. Youtube.com/bsbeautymix Also if you have a youtube channel comment below so me and others can check it out.

That would be exciting. It has been so hard waiting. I think the worst part is not knowing if you get approved or denied. We most likely have met since we go to the same location. Well i hope we can keep in touch. I will let you know if I find out anything.

Hello, I will be done with the 6 month program on the july 13. I too hope to get dr. cantor. We should keep in touch and let each other know what we find out I go to the woodbridge location for my appt. Have you finished the program yet? Have you been approved?

Hi everyone, My name is Brittney and I am 25. I am 5'5 and my highest weight was 263, my weight at my first weigh in was 245 and I am 237 right now. I was required to reach 238 before the end of my 6 month program. I have Kaiser insurance and live in VA and july 20 will be my last class. I am hoping for surgery around august but i'm not sure how fast it will go. I have done all of the required testing, and studies that they asked. So now im just waiting to be done with the classes. It has been painful waiting, I am so ready for july to get here. I would love for to meet other people who are in this stage. I have instagram @brittney_blive and facebook if you search brittney ifill. Im so excited and anxious.

Im in VA. They seem more strict then the CA Kaiser just by reading other posts for kaiser ( most being from CA ) I hope mine will go as fast as yours did. Thank You

yeah I wish mine was shorted but I am about to start school so I will have something other than work, my husband and 2 kids to keep me active....lol

WOW I wish it was like that now. It's a 6 month program in Virginia. We had to go to a surgery seminar, as well as every month a class, which can be nutrition class, weight management, follow ups were we weigh in and consults. We have to track everything we eat and bring it to the followups so they know were are doing what they ask. As well as all the test, h pylori, blood work, EGD, sleep study, psych eval, but thankfully I have done all of those. I found out I have sleep apnea and now I am sleeping with a CPAP machine lol and I have high blood pressure. So its quite the process now.

@@zelmo2001 Wow really? Thats great! What state are you in? I hope mine goes fast. I just want to know if i am approved or not. I think I can wait for the surgery its not knowing if I get approved that bothers me. It feel too good to be true

Thats Awesome!!! Congrats! I am so excited. I research and look into EVERYTHING lol. I am in Virginia where are you? I had to get all these test done and im completely done with them now it just waiting to get the rest of these nutrition classes and follow ups done. Thank you for your response.@@butterfly23

I have been losing like they want.I will not be done with my final class until july so I have some time before I get any where close to surgery. Thats good that you did not have to worry about it. I feel that I am overly concerned that I may be turned down. Not for any particular reason but just because that is an option. I know it's going to be amazing to feel healthy. Im so eager.@@zelmo2001

I started my first class feb 19 and I have been doing everything they asked me. I have been to 2 classes and my 1st consult. I have been to the support group and also have had all test needed to be approved for surgery. I have found out I have sleep apnea and high blood pressure. You have surgery already? Or you will have it 7/17/2015? How long after finishing your six months did you find out that you were approved. Did you lose the 3%.

I am in the process as well. I have kaiser insurance and they require a 6 month eval before they reccomend you for surgery. I feel like you can never research too much. Just undertand what comes withi this big step you are about to take. I would try to out weight the pros and cons of you getting the surgery versus not getting the surgery. I would also make sure you find out what surgery is going to be the best fit for you. From the seminars that I have been to thus far the surgeon really thinks people should stay away from lapband. I also found through research that gastric sleeve looks to be the most popular form of surgery because of the results and success rates. If you honestly think that you may not make it if you do not have surgery I say go for it. Your overall health is whats important. It also helps to find friends and family who backs your decision up. My name is Brittney by the way. We can take this journey together. Best of luck
