Hiii. I just finished my Options class in LA>

Tuesday, 9/26

Yeah, I discovered that. I was just referred to the Options orientation. Yay!

Hello! I was just referred to the Kaiser Options orientation, starting in a week. How long is the class? Process? I am in Los Angeles. Thanks!

How was it??

Is this class the same as Health education classes? I saw my doctor and he asked me to attend a class, but it wasn't called Options.

I know this is something I want to do, but I'm nervous about the long term weight gain I have heard about. Is there information to read up on? I eat pretty intuitively/healthy now after a lifetime of yoyo dieting, but I don't want to undergo major surgery just to keep yoyo'ing. How is weight set point factored in with this surgery? Are their consequences to bariatric restriction like there are with dieting?

Do you still do low carb only? Is this surgery's success contingent upon a life long diet?

I would love to hear about your experience. I have been researching this extensively and have so many questions!

LA... I'm in the "should I do this stage". How have your experiences been with keeping the weight off. I have yoyo'ed my whole life! Jennifer

I am in the considering VSG stage. I have Kaiser and am in West LA. Anyone post op? I would love to chat! Jennifer
