Looking for Kaiser patients
CaliforniaCandy replied to CaliforniaCandy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@skykade When you went to orientation, were you weighed? I've been sick for 2 weeks with that awful cold that's been going and have lost around 15 pounds. I'm terrified of going to orientation and getting weighed for fear of being rejected for the surgery. TIA, Candace Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app Candy -

I watched a YouTube video of a woman just back from her orientation at Kaiser Sacramento I think and she said they were weighed. My orientation is Tuesday so I'm going to call the center tomorrow and tell them the situation and ask if they weigh. I'm not freaking out anymore. It is what it is. And if I have to be referred again, so be it. Thank you for replying. I really, really appreciate it. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app Candy -
Well that didn't work. I'm also going with the Tespo bariatric women's formula. I'm waiting for it to arrive. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app Candy

I'm also going with the Tespo, just waiting for it to arrive. I ordered the bariatric women's formula. It looks fanatic. I'll be having the RNY so I'll definitely need great supplements for the rest of my life. This looked like a good alternative. @VSGnewguy Please let us know how your labs come back!

Hi, all. Happy New Year! I'm a little unhappy right now. I'm, 5'6.75", was 220 lbs. So I'm a low BMI with masjid comorbidities. We'll, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. Finally feeling better but when weighed yesterday, I was down 15 lbs! I have orientation on Tuesday at Kaiser So. San Francisco and am afraid of getting weighed and being rejected for the surgery. Just need some support right now. I'm freaking out. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app Candy -

Welcome! I'm going through Kaiser South San Francisco as well. I hasn't my orientation on January 9th. Is long was it from your orientation to surgery? I know there's different meeting and consults to go through so it could be different timing depending on when you get through all that. What support group are you going to? Sorry for all the questions. Keep us informed of how you're doing. We really want to know! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app Candy -
