Please Help.......

I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic and just completed their six month nutritional class and wanted to know if there is anyone else going though Kaiser and if so what is next. Also how long was it before you had surgery.....

Thanks

Welcome to the site and congratulations on making it through the first step. I don't have Kaiser, so I can't help with your question, but wanted to welcome you. :)

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

I don't know what Mid-Atlantic means with Kaiser, but I have Kaiser and live in Northern California. I did not have to do the options classes, but Southern California does. Those classes are 12 weeks long and you have to attend every single one of them and they are strict about it!

My experience with them was mainly testings, classes and evaluations. I had to do a pre-op diet and lose 25lbs. That was pretty much it! Easy peasy! I could have done it a lot faster, but from start to finish it took me 6 months!

Keep us posted on your progress!

Kelly ;)

I'm Southern California Kaiser and I had to do a 12 week class, plus all of the testing and had to lose 10% of my body weight before surgery. My process was much longer than most - start to finish I waited 17 months.

      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.
