Anyone going through the 6 month program with Medicaid and has Kaiser? ???

Hi Faith. I went through the Weight Loss Surgery education program at Kaiser with Medicaid.

The length of the Kaiser program is only 3 months now. I finished the program and all the Pre-Op testing in late September, and I'm scheduled to have the sleeve surgery on December 14.

I'm really nervous, but the Kaiser program makes sure you're well educated about the surgery and how to handle the Pre-Op and Post-Op lifestyle changes.

Give the education program a chance and upon completion, you still have up to a year to decide if the actual surgery is something you want or not.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
