Any advise on the length of time to get an appointment with the surgeon after Options classes?

I had my last Options class on December 7th. Dec 13th saw the Dr Alskaf at my Kaiser who cleared me for the Surgeon and was called a week later to schedule the surgeons visit. I met Dr. Kim at Kaiser West LA on Jan 8th. I am very comfortable talking to him and he answered all my quetions and said the sleeve was good to go. His nurse said i should get a call from the scheduling department in about a week. She said to follow up with the scheduler if no call after a week. I called them yesterday after a week and a half, scheduled a surgery date and the pre surgery exam. They were pretty flexible for surgery dates in February and March. I scheduled for surgery on March 7th. If you haven't heard from anyone you should be able to call your case manager. Good luck.
