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:.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
