kimberb 323 Posted September 17, 2016 Hi everyone, I went thru the second step required by my Kaiser today. The surgeon, nutritionist and our case manager each spoke and explained the surgery, diet and requirements to achieve surgery. We got our binder ( WLS bible) I'm very lucky. I don't have to do any sleep apnea or endoscopic procedure. I will have 3 appointments. One with Nutritionist, Psychology evaluation and a meeting with surgeon to discuss what procedure is best for me and my surgery goal weight. Once I have reached weight goal I will do all blood work and if everything is good I will have my WLS I hope I can go through all the hoops and have surgery sometime in December. Only time will tell. I'm so excited and nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stillmeonlysmaller 70 Posted September 21, 2016 Mine was quick, from orientation to surgery it was about 6 weeks. I met my weight loss goal and was told to start my 2 week preop diet the same day. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
