Anyone going through the Kaiser Fremont Program?

[Cali.Lover89 2]

I have an appt set (the 3 hr one) with the Surgeon, Nutritionist and Coordinator. I was wondering what the process is after that? I know that they give you a set amount of weight to lose, but if I lost the weight pretty quick, is there still a lot to do? Trying to gauge a timeline being a mommy and all.

Thanks!

I do on April 14th. I was told they use your highest recorded weight in the past year as your starting weight. So technically I've lost 9 lbs. (Recorded within 3 weeks ago), but I have no clue what weight loss goals they'll give me. I'm 319.5 lbs.

With Fremont Kaiser the only requirements are to hit your surgery goal weight and do a psych eval. The quicker you lose the weight the quicker you can get the surgery. Process is pretty straight forward. And they do use your highest recorded weight so you are 9lbs closer to your goal!

Before you can scheduke your psych eval you wilm need to be within 5lbs of your goal weight, do a short super easy quiz and attend one support group meeting. The Fremont Support group is great. This month they will be meeting on the 14th and the 28th from 6pm-8pm. There are also other groups in other towns if you can't make the Fremont one.

Yeah I will be at both meetings. It's a pretty big group with a lot of great people. I have learned so much and you can ask any questions you have there.

The program itself is very doable and the time until surgery is highly dependant on how long it takes you to lose the weight. I just happen to catch the program at the wrong time when they were short handed. I'm glad to hear that they are staffed up and everything is moving along again.

Yes glad they are getting it together... I know this program is very busy & high volume.. that's what Zorah said this morning.
I'll be there on 14th .. might see u there .

[kbellakat 69]

I do hope I get to meet you there .. you've been so helpful to me.
I'm thinking about staying for the group if I'm not all talked out & tired by then & providing my babysitter will stay later as well.

[bekah7482 79]

If you are there i would love to meet you. I wasn't so sure about going to a support group at first but it's honestly been so helpful and I have met so many great people who are all going through what we are so you always have someone to talk to.
