Harbor City Kaiser, Dr. Zane anyone???

I am so excited! I received a call from Dr. Zane on Friday to schedule my sleeve!!!!! I'm so upset that I missed his call. I would have my surgery date right now...I have to wait through the weekend! I can't take it lolcrying.gif.

I was shocked he was the one actually calling me to schedule the surgery, and I was shocked that he was calling to schedule the surgery and not the pre-op appointment????

I'm so glad I was assigned to Dr. Zane :-) he seemed very nice at the seminar. ...

Welcome weigh8nomore!!! My experience with Kaiser has been awesome. I know it's a long process but they really want us to be informed and the classes were great. The doctors and educators really do seem to care. We are all truly blessed to be having our sleeve done with Kaiser :-)

Are there any recent patients (like now or this year) of Dr. Zane or Dr. Belzberg here? I am curious about how long it was from your meeting with your surgeon until your surgery date.

I have been referred there to Harbor City, but they won't schedule my appointment yet until they receive the referral paperwork. I have a lap band that needs to come out, and I hope to have the sleeve put in. My stomach hurts all the time, and so I'm hoping it won't be a month wait for an appointment with the surgeon and then another two months until surgery.

Hello may I ask when did you get these appointments. I'm from kaiser fontana and we being sent out to other hospitals but they are all backing up at this rate I'm looking at mid august with west LA.

I got called a few days after my meeting with psychologist, she said it would take months. Everything is quick after that I guess

Two weeks or so

They called me for my appts. I think it just depends on which of the hospitals has an opening first. I got in because someone got cancelled cuz they gained weight. I am sorry you are in so much pain.
