There are several out west of the hospital on Geary but I would have to look them up to see what is there. I am not sure how cheap they are but they would be the closest and the safest area near Kaiser on Geary.

You could always check with the hospital as they usually have a list of the hotels close for families and also the costs. i know that we did when I worked at California Pacific Medical Center. So happy that Kaiser is paying for WLS.

You'll be in South SF, right? There are a bunch of hotels near the airport and south of it... Should be safe and close! Call the office and ask what they might recommend... They are all so sweet and helpful, especially Joyce! Good luck! I had my surgery there with Dr Alami 4 weeks ago today!

I am sure that there are hotels out by SSF as they are near the San Francisco Internations Airport. I would ask the Kaiser SSF as I know they must have a list for families that stay close to the hospital if they have a family member there. Oh and sorry that I did not know Kaiser Geary did not do the surgery. I hated Kaiser when I lived there. I am surprised that they will even pay for this surgery.!!

I had to do classes, but there was no time attached to them.. I think I had to take 3 classes on healthy lifestyle and nutrition and info about the surgery then about a week before my surgery I had another group class for pre-op.

Good luck in your process! I love my Kaiser team!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
