it seems like the 12 week options class is a Kaiser SoCal thing. I'm starting at Kaiser Richmond, as well. We just have the orientation/nutrition class, meeting with surgeon, meeting with psych and then the meeting with the case manager to schedule surgery once you lose the weight. I had the class 1 week after referral, meeting with surgeon the following week and then a 5 week wait for the psych.. I go 9/8.
