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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
