I have kaiser, and I'm finally at my weight goal, I go in on Monday for my weigh in! Super excited. But how long after that do they schedule your surgery? Do you just keep that weight goal. Or keep trying to lose? I'm getting the gastric bypass. And been trying to accomplish this since January.

Thank you in advance

They will go off your first weigh in with the first apt you have with them. Usually with a weightloss coach. Don't start losing weight now. Wait till they give you your goal weight. I have to lose ten lbs by eating their diet plan. It hard.

Hi all! Just joined today. I am just starting the process w Kaiser (south Sacramento) and am hoping to find others that are doing the process (or already have)

My referral was put in this week, and I was told it could take a couple of weeks to receive a call from Bariatrics

Questions I have :

Can I start losing weight NOW while I wait for the call? I’m mentally ready and want to keep my momentum going, but I don’t want to lose , say 10 pounds on my own and show up w a lower BMI and get turned away. Will they use my highest weight (this week the day of my referral was my highest weight EVER).

Will any weight loss now be included in my required pre op weight loss ?

How long did your Kaiser process take ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
