Kaiser SoCal veterans help me the Orientation



Recommended Posts

I was speaking to someone from Member services at Kaiser.

She said based on the outcome of the Orientation you might or might not

be approved for the options classes? What do they need to verify I am obese lol.. Should I walk in looking extra fat and limp because of my sore knee.

:scared0:

Just wondering what to expect.

I have Weight Watcher logs, I was thinking bringing various pictures to show all my sizes.

OMGosh! YOU ARE HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHA! And sound totally like me!!

They tell EVERYONE they may not be approved...I didn't really actually believe I got through until a year later (this past June) when I finally went to the seminar where we met with the surgeons, since they always repeated "you may not get approved" over and over and over. I'm not saying it's 100% for sure for everyone, but I think they just really want you to be serious about the classes, surgery etc.

And by the way I took my weight watcher logs as well, and they didn't even look at them :-( ...but you should still take yours just in case lol.

But seriously I think once you get this far, your good.

Too funny...I remember thinking O wow I'm so glad I just had knee surgery (had to miss the first 2 classes) so they could see my crutches to see that I NEED THIS hahahaha! And then when I had to wear my brace, I would think boy I hope they can see it LOL!

Yes, you are going to be fine, no worries:biggrin0:.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
