  1. I am having my surgery in January 2017. My body is having problems with pain in my feet, diabetes, etc and I having a hard time working. Has anyone gone on disability before the surgery? If so, was it easy? What do you say? Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

    Just starting

    Just know you are doing the right thing for your body and well being . The doctors, nurses and other staff are there to help you. Don't be afraid of telling them you are nervous. They understand. When I have my surgery it will be my 9th. I still get nervous. Just think about the outcome and how healthy you will be. Good luck.

    Finally

    I have a date 1/12/2017 for my surgery! I am so freaking frustrated how long it takes to get this done thru Kaiser SoCal. I went to orientation a year ago in October. I started the options classes in March ended in June. I complied with losing weight, lowering my AiC, cutting out diet soda, drinking Protein shakes and exercising. I have been putting off getting a job and going back to school. I just want it done! I know I sound whiney . I know I am not alone with the wait. I am tired of being fat and hating taking pictures. that's how I feel . I want to feel better and look better. Sent from my SM-T230NU using the BariatricPal App

    Kaiser

    Congrats! I wish all Kaisers had the same process! Haha. My orientation isn't until next week on the 11th. Options classes start in September, but ours in So. Cal. are 12 weeks long. I don't know for sure but I think I might have to do a diet plan thru WW since I don't have any MSWL on record. I emailed the RN and she said they would be happy to answer any questions at the orientation lol, so I got no answers but it's okay cause I can wait a week. I wonder how fast you'll get your surgery date after the classes? Do you have to do a MSWL program? And do you have a required sleep study? JW Lol. I'm rambling, CONGRATS!I ended my classes in June and just got my surgery date for January 2017. This week I met the surgeon and he said they have hundreds of patients. Just go to every class and lose weight and it will go faster. Good luck Sent from my SM-T230NU using the BariatricPal App

    Kaiser

    I have Kaiser and live in Coachella Valley but having my surgery in San Bernardino . It has taken me a year to get a surgery date! I went to the surgeon this week at Kaiser Redlands Dr. FEDORKA. My surgery isn't until January 2017. I started the process last September. Kaiser is backlogged . The surgeon said they have hundreds of patients . I'm so frustrated by how slow it has been. My suggestion is do everything they ask and start losing weight . If you don't comply they are glad to have you wait. Go to every class and appointment .
