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.!!

Hello Kimmie-sleeve...

I am starting the process in LA at a Kaiser...in SSF do they require attending 3 months of classes?

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!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
