Outstanding Toyia, I just waiting for the call from Dr. Cantors office..... I try to keep busy it will be two months the first week of September. Im so happy for you, how did u feel after surgery Ann

Deevah and Toyia congrats on your surgery date...... seems as if Dr. Cantor is moving a bit faster. I can't wait for my call to start my pre-op diet.

Deevah u get ur date yet

Toyia, I was wondering what supplement are you using post op...... last question if everyyhing went smooth how soon could you have had surgery and were you on the waiting list for those who could have surgery on a short notice

Toyia Did he perscribe you perscriptions right away...... question, was the delay due his scheduling? Now Dr. Cantor did say the wait is now about 2 to 4 months........ best of luck lady.

Toyia, I'm so happy for you, well I'm waiting for Dr. Cantors office to call me.... I filled all my perscriptions he ordered on the first visit with in on July 2. How long did it take from the time u had your first visit with him until surgery..... this waiting is soooooo hard. Again congratulations to you

Hi Birdie, Which Kaiser are you associated with.... I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic

I just saw your name but again thanks Tracy

Thanks Virtygirl and yes I'm getting the sleeve.

I went to my first visit with Dr. Cantor and he told me the wait time was about 2 to 3 months tops and I wanted I could the surgery scheduler and let them know I can be put on the waiting list to go anyday........ I am by far soooooooo excited

I have an appointment with Dr. Cantor tomorrow does anyone know whether his surgery schedule has got any better........ I hope I don't have to wait another 6 months *geesh*......

Dr. Cantor's office called me last Thursday and I have my appt with him on July 12th. I hope and pray the weight for surgery is not as long as I heard it was................ im truly excited

I want to know who has Dr. Cantor through Kaiser and how long is or was your wait to have sugery once you were approved by the committee. Also what do I need to do so that I can possibly speed up my process...........

Wow Deevah, That's a long time....

Hi Toyia, Yes Im using Holy Cross. I dont know about a list as of yet because my appointment is on July 12th. But I did do the information classes at Holy Cross and in Dr. Cantor packet he stated that he wanted a physical,h-phyloric test, sleep study, and also an ecocardiogram done (I think that im spelling the tests right) but i have already did all those testing and my results were fine so Im hoping this will also speed up the process for me. How long have you been waiting or did you wait after the first visit with him. Im so excited because this is something that I have thought about for years.......

Thanks im trying to see if I could switch surgeons because I was informed today that it is about a six month waiting list

Toyia If he takes on more how does that make the wait time shorter

Thanks Lexusgirl, Now I did the sleep study, did the H plyoric test and ecocardiogram as well as went to two seminars@ holy cross had a physical too hoping that this could possibly speed up my process. I just got my referrel today for Dr. Cantor and believe you me I called member services and his office to update my contact info. How long did you wait for you first appt with him and how far out was or is your surgery date

I finally got my referrel to Dr. Cantor................ im on my way

Thanks-Virtygirl, The waiting is so hard....... uugghhh

Thanks-Virtygirl, The waiting is so hard....... uugghhh

Thanks Tracy, i have nurse Zarba as well. I had my last nut class on June 2 and i think she told me that the committee meets twice a month but i havent heard from as of today keeping my fingers crossed for an approval. Ann

I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic and i use the Largo Center.... i was wondering whats the actual process and how long did it take for you approval from the committee once you finish the nut classes. Im trying to be proactive and get all the test that dr. Cantor stated in the hand out from holy cross. Please feel me in on maybe a time line and or what i need to do. I just finish my classes on june 2. Thanks, Ann
