It's about Me

Just completed week 8 of my Options classes through Kaiser. Four more weeks and I will be finished with that. Then just waiting for the referral....already have the medical clearance, just seems like it has taken so long.

I will turn 60 in September, I am praying that I will have a surgery date by the end of March. Las Vegas here we come!

Best of luck, I can't wait until I have a surgery date.

Hello, I am a newbie! I am joining you because I would like some support and encouragement. I had my first orientation through Kaiser in Bakersfield on December 5th, I started the Options classes (12 weeks) on December 12th. We had a two week interruption for the holidays and class resumed on January 9th. I have had all my tests done, blood, EKG, Behavioral Assessment, Health Appraisal, and Stress Test. So I am starting my week 4 of the Options classes this week. I have only told my husband about my plans for surgery, I don't believe I will tell my family or friends.

I am going through Kaiser for my VGS, is anyone else taking the Options classes?

Good luck, you will breeze through this and let us know how you are.

Thank you for the information.

Any advise on the length of time to get an appointment with the surgeon after Options classes?
