hi thanks for responding. what a coincidence, i am going through kaiser bellflower also. my doctors are at the downey facilities. i emailed my doc & asked for the referral to be sent. less than two days i was scheduled for orientation a week ago. orientation is may 10. i know it takes a while for everything to get going to the day of surgery. i have already been in the 5 month Optifast program. im not a diabetic, but i have signed up for the wls class. every situation is different. a friend began classes at harbor city february last year and surgery in august and has lost over 130 lbs.

yes i agree. fortunately i have a good marriage. my husband is supporting me 100%. i told him the only change i expect is to where shorts and a cute bathing suit. :thumbup:he said "that's right baby".

thank you. yes I like to know what the criteria is.

How has this worked for some of you? Were you actually ready to go back this soon? When did you noticed you were ready to do more and more daily activities?

Has anyone asked their doctor how does the weight loss know when to plateau once your body has reached its "goal" so to speak? From what I'm reading there is quite a bit of weight loss being lost in an unquestionably short time.----not complaining at all.:001_smile::thumbup:I can't wait.

Hello All My orientation date has been moved up a month to May 10 with Kaiser Southern CA. :001_smile:I am so elated to start these 12 week classes after orientation. Hope you all are still doing great. We are a wonderful people.

Hello All I finally joined after reading some of the post here. Before deciding to have WLS, I completed the Optifast class through Kaiser. I lost 30 lbs on program and another 30 on my own. Today I received a packet for the procedure Vertical Sleeve. I am ever so excited. I have orientation on June 14. I like to add, the post I've read are so full of hope and congrats to you all. Don't ever be discouraged.

oh yes for sure. i am happy for all who has and will make this journey. i can't wait. orientation is june 14 with kaiser ....

thanks much
