    I'm frustrated too!!! I got told today that all of Augustan September is booked already!!! Itll be months before I get my surgery [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31]. I am on a cancellation list but still... I wish there was another facility I could go to and get this done! I've passed the psych and ekg. Currently waiting on a ultrasound appointment on the 28th and that's only because I called since I still gotten a surgery date. According to the scheduler "they were so busy they forgot to call and get this scheduled". Say what?!?! I am ticked!!!! Last I heard only august was full, then because they "forgot" September is full too. I love kaiser but this sucks. I am going to see if there's another facility in the area that I can get my surgery at since I'm actually ready. I lost the weight they wanted me to lose too... I'm totally bummed and getting discouraged

    I really hope they get their sh#% together for you :(

    Hey guys I've been on the preop diet since last Monday. The first few days went by great. Then I started cheating a tiny bit like having a string cheese. My nutritionist said I could have cheese but didn't specify what kind so I just had cheese heads. I also caved in by chewing a Gummy and spitting it out. I'm starting to feel awful. I feel like I'm cheating. I lost 6pounds last week and now I'm at a stall, I haven't changed in 3 days... I'm upset, the scale isn't moving and I'm getting hungrier.. I don't know if I can make it till next Monday [emoji20] this whole process is making me want to cry and give up. I'm feeling guilty because I have to pay out of pocket.. and I know that this surgery doesn't do anything besides restrict portion sizes. Should I just drop the whole surgery. I'm young, I'm 19, been fat my whole life.. everything is a mess and I'm stressed.


    Keep your head up. Take a deep breath and remember why you started all this and what you truely want for your life and not just the want now. Drink more liquids. Don't cheat because you are only hurting yourself. Call and maybe ask the surgery place if there is something they can recommend to easy the hunger a bit like a hunger blocking pill or some think to help ease it.

    They submitted and two days later I got a call telling me I was approved and they scheduled my surgery right then and there.

    I'm in the same spot as Keenikwe. I've been approved by insurance, but am waiting for the surgeon's assistant to review my file and set a surgery date. I do have to say that this is one area where it sounds like most of the programs could do a better job--that is communicating expectations and timelines. The number of people who get halfway through what they believe to be their requirements, only to have those requirements shift and change is just unacceptable (I realize that this one is usually a problem with insurance companies, not usually the programs). And waiting for someone in an office to shift a file from one desk to another without giving a patient any estimate for how long that usually takes is just impolite. My business requires that I plan out 3 months in advance, but right now I'm leaving my team hanging for the next 8 (or maybe 10, or maybe 12-who knows??) weeks because no one is even willing to give me an estimate on whether I should expect surgery in late August, early September, or maybe not until October. Can you tell I'm frustrated?


    Yeah. I'm frustrated too. I'm trying to be patient with all of them but damn how many hoops do I need. I just wish they would lay it all out and be clear about it. So I will just keep doing all I can.

    Hello. I'm 26 yr old from the so cal area (hemet/ San jactino). I'm married and mother of my adorable 2 1/2 year old son. I'm currently a stay at home mom. I started my journey in February weighing 352 and I'm currently down 330. My current stand still is trying to find out when my surgery will be. My insurance is being difficult but I'm doing my best to jump through their hoops. I'm applying for gastric bypass.

    I've been overweight all my life and I don't want this anymore. So I'm looking for friends and a mentor to help keep me on my path when I sometimes cant

    The same thing has happened to me in just the past couple of days. I started the program in the last week of April and have done everything I'm supposed to. I've lost weight consistently then out of nowhere I've hit a wall. Still stuck to the program then this past weekend I too lost control. However, I realized it and got back with what I'm supposed to be doing. I could kick myself tho!

    I guess let's just keep making good changes and do the best we can.

    So far I've done the nutritionist, now I'm doing classes, then they are telling me that I haven't been doing the right stuff and they wanna sign me up for another class .. I feel Like I'm being dragged through the mud. Currently I'm waiting for the referral to go trough to I guess go to a consultation with the surgeon. Nothing has been mentioned about the pysch evaluation or scans. I've done a seminar and hopefully a group meeting on Wednesday. But I just need someone to talk to about all this
