I finished my Options class at the Downey Kaiser on Aug 27th. I ended up calling them, when I hadn't heard anything. Long story short is, they got me my referral to Dr. Edward Mun at the South Bay Kaiser. I was excited to find out that Dr. Mun is one of the best surgeons in the world. Anyway, I had my appt with him and I'll be having surgery Oct 25th!!

Good luck to you!!!

Oh wow that was really quick!! I wish i could find out more information on my surgeon :P !

I finished my Options classes on September 19th, had my Doctor's Talk on October 5th, Nutrition class on October 11th, appointment with Surgeon on November 4th and my surgery date is November 28th. So I'm all set for Fountain Valley. Anyone else having their surgery there?

Hello Ericka,

I am with Kaiser WLA I had my surgery 9/29/11. I finished my options class 2/2011 and on 8/30/2011 I was giving a date. I thought the same thing you did. It felt like forever for kaiser to call me. The good thing is, after surgery, the worst didnt happen and I am doing great. Its been about 2 weeks and i am down 21lbs. Good luck. Just know that when you think they are taking too long call call call and bug them they will give you a date believe me.

This may be a reacurring Topic, but Im new to the site and would love your feedback on the process you completed with Kaiser all the up to your surgery day (or receiving the date for some)

I just completed my options classes 8.16.11 and now I feel like a lost child wondering around at the park... Im currently waiting to be contacted for a consultation with the surgeon. I was told that all of my lab work had been completed and other test and now it's just a waiting game. Not to mention Im still working on my 10% weight lost that must be completed by my surgery date.

Pre Options: 260lbs

Post Options: 248

Must be 237lbs by my surgery date dry.gif

Im not sure where I am right now but Im almost sure I've lost 1-2lbs this week, I've been working out really hard and eating some what of a healthy diet.

How long did it take for your to get your surgery date after you completed options?

What facility were you referred to for surgery?

Are you currently attending the support groups?

Did options help you maintain yourself in the process?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback folks =)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
