Thanks! The process was smooth until the 6th visit due to my nut going into labor & I had to drive an hour to another kaiser to see another nut for my last visit. It was a lot of confusion but it all worked out. Thank goodness.

Hello All, I am nervous nelly right now but wanted to share my good news. I have completed my 6th months program. My papers were submitted on Jan 15th. Nut stated it would take two weeks to get a decision and sure enough I received the approval on Jan 29th. I am now scheduled for a consult with surgeon on Feb 13th with Dr. Liao at GBMC. This process just got real! Hoping all goes well.

Yes, Miss Mac, I can't wait to do the survey & will sign my full name on it.

I'm in the same boat with you Keekee. Since we have the same nut.my 6th visit was yesterday, got to check in & was told my appt was canceled. I did not received a phone call nor email. Just was told "oh she is out on maternity leave & there is no one else. After being given the run around I finally got in contact with Kaisers management office. Was told they have someone new coming in BUT she have to be trained. She stated since I'm so close in the program she will try to see if I can go to DC location tomorrow. It's going to be a commute but I willing to do it.

Hi we started the same time! I started my weight loss class in August and ending first week of feb! How are you holding up? After my classes are completed they will send a referral to the surgeon and hoping to get everything taken care of in feb and have surgery march. They said the process of psych eval, approval and surgery date can me 1 month long so I'm hoping time will fly. Keeping my fingers crossed all goes as well. Hi Mirabb, I'm holding up pretty good. Hoping all goes well. I remember in August I thought wow I have a long way to go for 6 mos. & bam! I'm in the 6th month already. The time will fly. How are you holding up?

the Kaiser I have, I am required to attend 6 visits with a nut, one visit per month, 2 of those visits were wls classes,. a psych eval, attend one or two wls seminar sessions, and attend a wls support group. My journey started Aug 2013 & Jan 13th will hopfully be my last visit with nut. Think I will then get a referral to see a surgeon of the two hospital choices I was given. Guess then the surgeon will send me for required testing.

Oh wow no pre op diet.. I'm glad to hear that. Does Dr. Steele speak at the information session? I am scheduled to attend a session just waiting for them to send me confirmation of date & time.

Sorry I'm late responding. I'm in the 3rd month of the 6 months process & so far it has really been a learning experience for me. How is the process going for you?

Hi, I am still pre op but plan to have surgery at johns hopkins bayview. Dr. Lidor was referred to me by my twin sister whom had gastric bypass done by Dr. Lidor a few years ago.
