THats great!!! hopefully your dad will find a job through the union and his medical will stay active so you wont have to worry about it... Ill say a prayer for you

Im in southern CA and i go through Kaiser im not sure how much kaiser will charge for monthly medical though because we get most of it covered through work

Yay for you!!!! that is great!!! Glad you are feeling better about you and where you're at with everything

Hi.... I added you to my friends... I am going through Kaiser in Fontana and am on class 5... On my profile i have updated my journey weekly so if you would like to you can read my story it will give you a little insight up to this point and if you have questions please feel free to ask me

During our classes they have told us it is preferred and ultimately up to the surgeon... But this is a life change and i started my life change now and am aiming for the 10%... In northern CA where my sister had it done it is MANDATORY......but really the 10% isnt that bad if you are truely serious about the life change which is why the choice of getting the surgery was made in the first place..... I think its best even if you lose just a little so you are showing you are serious about the change for life

I agree with Katie713 - Veggies are your best friend also cut out some carbs that will make a big difference.... im at 13 lbs so only 10lbs to meet my 10%

Today is my week 6 class in fontana

I would think as everyone else is saying... as long as you stick to good eating habbits and gets some exercise in it is absolutely doable.

Can you choose different locations? I was reading some people going to San Diego. Do they let you know what locations are not so far behind?? Hopefully they will call you soon..... the waiting is a killer lol Have you been to the Los Angeles Site to see how it is?

Thats no good :/ Have you completed all the other requirements? What all have the required of you?

I can understand that.. lol I think im worried over nothing.... Thanx for the support

My sister did it but she got her surgery pretty quickly, but shes in northern CA. Im just afraid of them denying it because i gain something back or something IDK

Does that mean you have to be sure to keep the 10% weight loss off for possibly 3 months before surgery?

Thanks for the reply. I was figuring about 5 months. I just wasnt looking forward to all the 1 year posts :/ I read that kaiser Fontana is sending to St Bernardines??
