If anyone is interested in the kaiser process in Fontana CA i have documented all my steps thus far and continue to do so as things happen... Its all under my surgery story on my profile if anyone is interested

I was told 1200 is maintenance, and that your carbs should be low and focus mainly on protein..... IDK if its even physically possible to get 1200 at 2 weeks out

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

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.

Everything has been done. All my labs were great my Vitamin D was great. My last appointment was with mental health on 5/30. I'm still waiting to be called to schedule my appointment with a Dr. In west Los Angeles because saint b's is so behind.

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?

Welcome congrats on starting this journey, but it is a long one. I am also out of the fontana office.

I had my referral send in December and started options the week of January I completed the program on March 27 and still haven't seen, nor do I have an appointment to see a surgeon.

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

My friend gained almost 10lbs ..when she went for her consult n was not denied nor was her surgery postponed...then again each person situation is different....u should be ok...when someone else weigh u weekly u tend to lose weight or maintain...for me it was from fear of embarrassment...lol

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

Im going to be honest, I didn't. When I went for review I did not lose or gain.. I retained Water due to my monthly..which had me 7lbs heavier then my highest weight..so my process was delayed by a week, cuz he made me come back to see if the Water weight was gone. I did not lose 10% n still was approved.

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

No more 1 year process!!!! Which is great...u should be sleeved 6 months from June 22nd!

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

Welcome..n congrats on starting ur jorney...it will be more than a few months...unfortunately ...with kp ur classes are 12 weeks...then after that it is a waiting game...i have kp out of riverside...i started classes feb 10th and i will be having surgery sometime in July...maybe early August...i will find out 4 sure on the 28th...so from start to finish 5 to 6 months...Good luck on ur journey

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??
