It takes time for them to call back.... It took me about 2 weeks after the referral process. I am an OC Kaiser member. :) We were referred out to Dr LePorte's bariatric surgery facility. :)

I just finished the classes Sept. 14th at Fontana. Just had my 2nd Bari appointment and my Psych is Nov. 7th. I heard after that it goes fast, so i have hoping for sooner than later! Its kinda agrivating that they want you to be so strict about the classes then they take 2 months to get you a Psych appointment. But oh well, gives me time to prepare.

It is the same time every week on the same day. I had Fridays at 11am but they do have them throughout the week at different times, I think even some night ones. I just got cleared through the Psych eval, so now its just a waiting game for the pre-op appointment for the surgeon! So excited. I started the classes the beginning of June with th orientation. You can miss a max of two classes, but if you miss a third they drop you and you have to start over, also they require you to make up any missed classes before you can get your secondary baratric appointment or psych. The classes themselves are an hour and half long. My class time was 9:30 to 11:00 am. If you have any questions you can def. message me :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
