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!

Hi, The Orientation is like an hour and a half I think, its not the class yet, they will tell you what choices you have, if you are going to do the surgery, then you have to enroll to options class, (after the orientation) its a 12 week course and an hour and a half per class. Goodluck and keep us posted

Corona, California

Yay congrats! To healthier us!

Hi,

I took options class in Fontana Kaiser, and finished the 12 week class in July, where are you taking your classes?

You are supposed to get your blood test, x-ray, ekg and the poop test for H. Pylori.

You should have your "go signal or the green light" to have all this done on your week 3 class, the orders are all gonna be on your file, if you log in online at kaiser you will see all the orders there, or you can go to any Kaiser, check in and they will print it for you.

All this test has to be done before you meet with the bariatric MD's, they are the ones that will release you after the class to meet up with the Bariatric Surgeon, you will get to meet the MD 2x one during class and one after you graduate :), you will also need to meet with the Therapist (Mental Health), to make sure that you are not just physically ready but mentally too.

Oh, and you have to attend atleast one support group, try attending the one in Kaiser Corona (the one in Kelogg Ave) they are cool very helpful and supportive group

Goodluck in your class.

Hi, I also have kaiser, and thought I will have my procedure done at St Bernardine, but during the options class they told us that they will start doing surgeries in Kaiser Ontario starting September, I will have my RNY done in Ontario on Sept 26th, my Surgeon is also Dr Chin, (glad to hear that he's really not that personable, I thought he doesnt like me - my pre op check up with him was kinda blah, I was his 2nd patient and was so excited, trying to make jokes, but he wasn't buying it, lol. Oh well, its nice to have found you guys here in the forum. Have a nice day you guys

I'm in Northern California and I'm having RNY on the 28th.

That is awesome my doctor gave me a folder of what to eat before surgery, I'm on a strict 1200 cal diet, then whole day liquid diet the day before the 26th. Are you taking the chewable vitamins? I'm taking Celebrate.

Hi how's how's everyone, hope you are doing okay Lori, keep us posted

I am also looking for buddies on this lifelong journey, I'm a newbie from Southern California - pre-op RNY on Sept 26, i love reading the members stories and so fascinated how everybody is so supportive of one another. I'm still in waiting and have a whole lot of support to give. You guys take care
