Kaiser SoCal veterans help me the Orientation



Recommended Posts

I was speaking to someone from Member services at Kaiser.

She said based on the outcome of the Orientation you might or might not

be approved for the options classes? What do they need to verify I am obese lol.. Should I walk in looking extra fat and limp because of my sore knee.

:scared0:

Just wondering what to expect.

I have Weight Watcher logs, I was thinking bringing various pictures to show all my sizes.

OMGosh! YOU ARE HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHA! And sound totally like me!!

They tell EVERYONE they may not be approved...I didn't really actually believe I got through until a year later (this past June) when I finally went to the seminar where we met with the surgeons, since they always repeated "you may not get approved" over and over and over. I'm not saying it's 100% for sure for everyone, but I think they just really want you to be serious about the classes, surgery etc.

And by the way I took my weight watcher logs as well, and they didn't even look at them :-( ...but you should still take yours just in case lol.

But seriously I think once you get this far, your good.

Too funny...I remember thinking O wow I'm so glad I just had knee surgery (had to miss the first 2 classes) so they could see my crutches to see that I NEED THIS hahahaha! And then when I had to wear my brace, I would think boy I hope they can see it LOL!

Yes, you are going to be fine, no worries:biggrin0:.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
