Today is my last Kaiser Options class

You should call them and talk to the program director and see what's going on you should've got an appointment by now for the surgeon

I called two days ago. The first person said Health Education hasn't submitted completion letter then Health Education said that's it's been done. Finally got scheduled to for the medical clearance appointment with the program director on Monday (after they said no openings till June). THEN after that appointment I wait to get scheduled for an appointment with the surgeon.

Just a little advice from a Kaiser post-op: Don't wait around for them to call you! Call them! They drop the ball all the time. And when you are scheduling your surgery date with the Dr ask to be put on the cancellation list. You will definitely get bumped up much faster this way! Good luck everyone!

Yes very true! .. I totally agree ... squeaky wheel lol
The Bariatrics front desk already knows me .. I always ask to be on cancellation list :. When it comes to surgical appointments & whatever..
I've had many procedures & surgeries over the years.. been w kaiser over 30 yrs ..
Also my 10 yr old triplets were born there .

Thank you [emoji4]
Ya u did great w your pre op u lost so much ..good for u !!
Did u get a date yet ?

I am supposed to have my surgeon appointment May 16th but the scheduler person is not there so it might get pushed back one week since I did so well I am the first person to get my surgeon appointment. I will definitely post something once I find out my surgery date. I am also hoping the surgeon does not put me on a super long liquid diet I think I have about 78 more pounds to lose and I haven't even had the VSG surgery. Right now I am trying to just maintain what I have lost my SW 291 CW 239.

Good luck [emoji106] that's great u lost really well .. my dr says I will not have to do liquid pre op ... u may not either since u got weight down .. but it all depends on the dr they are all different.

I sure hope I don't have to and I only need to lose another 78 more pounds. It turns out the Kaiser I go to the person that schedules the surgery is on vacation till Tuesday May 16th now it looks like I won't get my surgeon appointment till May 23 so I'm so hoping I get my surgery by the end of the month. Please let me know when you get your day as well[emoji4]

I did! Had them put me on the cancellation list for my final medical clearance appointment and had that a few days ago on Monday. The surgeons office called today and I see the surgeon on May 30. Can't wait!!!

THAT'S true. You REALLY have to be on their butts to get stuff like this done. I HATE waiting to hear from my doctor, I will email them till they make my appointment. I will be a thorn in their side till they do what I want them to do. I had my son with them also, and have been with them almost 30 years too.
