  1. I really had no idea about how long the process would take. By the sounds of the big meeting I had, it seemed like if you did what they told you to do, it would be fairly quick. I had a friend who did it almost 3 years ago at San Jose Kaiser. It took her about a year. I was sort of thinking it would take me that long too. I remember at my first visit with the surgeon, he asked me how long I was thinking about doing this. I told him I had thought about it for a court le of years. He looked up my weight history of the past year and said I have already lost the weight I needed to qualify for the surgery! OMG, I was shocked and so happy!!
  2. I went through Kaiser in Richmond, Ca. It went extremely fast after my initial meeting, then the big group one. I started June 26th of this year and had my surgery on Aug. 5th.
  3. My surgery is set for August 5th.
