nurse247 74 Posted September 20, 2016 I have finished the options class Ana now have to wait to see if the case manager says I need phase two labs. This could take a month I was told. I have been waiting for four years to get this done. I am so over waiting anymore... Can someone tell me the process here after is quick? I think Kaiser needs to let up on some of the control over the small stuff. Frustrated to say the least....

brownskinlayd 1 Posted September 22, 2016 Same here. My last Options class was Sept 15 and I took care of everything they had me do. Finished all my prescriptions (Vit. D deficiency/ Hypothyroid) that the Dr prescribed, redid labs for deficiencies and even got on birth control in case that came up as an issue. I haven't lost my 10%. The fact that they don't really give any specific details makes it really hard to prepare (family/help/supplements) for surgery. On top of that I'm in the process of moving.

brownskinlayd 1 Posted October 4, 2016 Thank you, @Dejunierlove. I exchanged contact info with one of my Options classmates and she just got a call from Kaiser to set her up for her Psych eval and phone appointment with Bariatric Dr yesterday. So I'm hoping I get my call sometime this week. At this rate I'll be glad just to get a surgery date before the end of the year. So we'll see.
