gogogirl

Thank You on all the cooked veggie responses!

Hi everyone. I just want to introduce myself to the group. I am gogogirl....lol I am presleever. I have Kaiser Permanente Insurance. I made the decision to have the sleeve less than a month ago, was able to get a doc appt the next day and was refered to bariatrics that day. I just had my Options orientation session, my body analysis, and my first class over the last couple of days. I am about 3 weeks in and have gone through the first 2 hurdles. As far as I can tell, there are 4 with Kaiser on their part. The next 2 are getting a referral from my Options Instructor and then the O'k from my surgeon who I have not picked yet. I have my choice of 3, one of which received Surgeon of the Year so I think he will be my pick. I dropped about 5 pounds before my initial official weigh in and officially have dropped 2 since my start of Options. I need to lose 10% so let's just say 22 pounds to be considered for the surgery, as well as making all of my classes, doing all of my labs, and whatever else they ask me to do. I got this. To think this is the LAST time I will have to do this without the edge of the sleeve is giving me a great deal of resolve. Anyway, Hello everyone. Please stop by and say hello and introduce yourself. I am not telling too many folks in my circle so I hope to make a new one here.

Thank You Don!!

Best of luck!

So you could eat cooked veggies though?

Can you change medical groups within your ***? If so, maybe you could research first and see who doesn't require quite so much. I have to do 3 months at Kaiser

How exciting!! Best of luck and blessings on your journey!!

Wow...it takes that long before you can have salad? Are you able to eat other veggies early on?

Does that thing in the photo come from the pharmacy?

Hi, I have just decided that I want this surgery and I am a Kaiser member. My bmi is 36.5 right now. I am wondering if there are any folks from South Bay that were in a similar situation and can give me any pointers to make sure that my surgery gets approved. I am prediabetic, and have also have high blood pressure. I think I may have sleep apnea. I have made an appointment with my doctor to get her to order a sleep test. A firend of mine had Dr. Moon and he really liked him. Anything anyone can tell me would be so very appreciated.
