Hi, I started the Kaiser options program at Panorama City last Oct., when it lasted 20 weeks, since then I know it has gone to 12 wks. I completed the class and all of it's requirements, food logs, exercise logs, weight loss on April 4, 2010. My home Kaiser is Woodland Hills and I think they are now starting there own program. I finally got a surgery date with Dr. Zane at South Bay, it will be on Sept. 14, my preop is happening on Sept 2. I'm nervous but excited. It is a really long process but I hope that it will be very successful and worth waiting for. Good luck to you on the journey and hang in there. Bobcat:thumbup:

Hi all, What a great site, I'm so glad to have stumbled on you. I am awaiting VSG surgery. I am in the Options Program at Kaiser Panorama City, CA. I need to lose 25 lbs. and complete the 20 classes which end on 04/02/2010, then I will meet my surgeon. I can't wait. If there is anyone out there who has had surgery with Kaiser I would love to hear from you.

So I have been scouring the sight for a few weeks and finally decided to jump in. I am in the process of going through the Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Options program, preparing for the vertical sleeve surgery. I am trying very hard to change my lifestyle, when and what I eat, incorporating exercise into my daily routine. I am also trying to gather as much information as possible before my surgery. I am very anxious for things to move along. I am in the 14th week of our 20 week options program. I am enjoying it, it is very informative and I have met some really great people. It has been interesting reading your stories and successes. I really like this sight the participants seem to be very friendly and willing to offer incouragement and insight:thumbup1:. I look forward to meeting more of you. Bobcat (a very old nickname)
