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

That is great you're almost there keep going I ended up winning the biggest loser in my class. I ended up getting a really nice bag really nice water bottle and a towel as my prize.

Ah Bakersfield, nice!

While part of me doesn't want to wait the three months to take the OPTIONS class I'm sure it provides some great educational information and really prepares us for our surgery and after. I'm working on my 10% presurgery loss now and so far so good.

Nice prizes you got!!

Yes the classes are a wonderful teaches you a lot of stuff I don't know how people do the surgery without all this information that they give us.

Congrats to you. I'm in northern CA/East Bay area and the requirements are much different. We don't have option classes to attend. There's a 2hr intro class and 4 1/2 hrs orientation. Once we meet with the surgeon, he or she will set your goal, which is 5%, the next appointment is made before leaving the office for psy eval. It seems that the process is much quicker. Every place is different. I wish you the best on your lifestyle journey.

Yes true ... I'm at Kaiser east bay ... very different requirements there ... my dr set me @ 8% Pre op loss .. 3lbs to go then I call in Weight tracker & set up psychological eval appt .. which kaiser are you at ?

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!
