Recommended Posts

I checked out my plan and im coverd for everything except surgery which is $500

Then you should be good.... I would just double check on the copays for the xrays and ekgs before you get them because i wasnt expecting to pay like 50 when i went and had them done....

I also have southern California Kaiser...had surgery 4/6/12 at West L.A.

The entire program was top notch! So much education, glad I did the 12 week Options program and got used to doing food journals and exercise, by the time I had surgery, I had already lost 26 pounds just doing the program.

The surgical team was great and I feel I had excellent care, with no complications whatsoever.

Good luck...I am sure you will be pleased with your Kaiser team of doctors and educators!!!

I had my referral for surgery two weeks after finishing Options!!

I was sleeved thru Kaiser Southern CA. My PCP sent a referral to Bariactric Dept and then the process was started. Had an orientation then started 12 weeks of classes. Had to attend a support group and the NUT appt and physc appt.

Any copay?

      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.
