Hey! Yes, they fly me in from Kauai and take care of transportation. Usually I go right back, but I know my classes I may be there longer (because they are trying to group a few together) 1 behavior, 1 exercise and 1 diet class. I'm so anxious! I hope we get classes together! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am!! I am scheduled for the orientation on May 6th!! I will see you there!!! Oh I am so excited! The whole takes a year thing is scary, I am wondering if it is a year before surgery or a year after the surgery and all of the counseling. Although I did talk with the other lady Sally on this wall and she said it took her about a year as well!! I hate your in a wheel chair! Stay strong and positive, we will get there!

Maria, I went to a castle info session and I think the team is awesome!! I was prepared to do a self pay surgery. At that time (still insured by Kaiser) I didn't know about Kaiser's program. Castle does not accept Kaiser insurance, which is the biggest reason I chose Kaiser. I think both groups are great (what I know so far) but I'm not sure about the third one you mentioned.

Hi Sally!! Thanks for your quick response! How long was your process from the first info session to get your surgery date? Curious to how long the process takes and how rough it is! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am in same boat as you! Just starting process, would love to know how it all goes.
