Final Kaiser Options Class

[Ibejjo 47]

So tonight was the last of our Kaiser Options class and I am super happy. All I have to do it wait about a week or so to get the authorzation to meet the surgeon. I was hoping to get the sleeve done at Pacific Bariatric in San Diego but I was told the wait list is now 6 months. The instructor told our class that San Joaquin Hospital contract in Bakersfield should be approved soon so it looks like that's the hospital that I will be getting it done. Hopefully in the 2 months I should be having the surgery done. I will cross my fingers and hope for a January date.

I did my classes in Bakersfield. You should find out if you can have your surgery done here since the wait time should be less than Pacific Barriatric.

Our location is crazy....Were you able to do your labs before your class ended?

I found out that some locations got to do there labs before options ended yet our location had to wait...also I have talked to people that got to pick the location where they went and ours says that Kaiser picks for us. I am not sure whats up with that but I dont like the incosistancy!! Pacific use to have the shortest wait time but now they are very backed up with Kaiser patients

I had my class in Bakersfield and we got all of our labs and test done before the class ended. They told us we could pick but since San Joaquin Hospital is about to open soon in Bakersfield tha Kaiser will not reimburse you for travel or lodging if u choose a different hospital.
