Sleeve or BUST? Kaiser Options So Cal

Well Well it is over. 12 weeks of watching, logging and exercising and watering my body. I got my certificate.

With this edema I didn't lose much, but according to what is still to happen, I have six more weeks if all goes as planned and surgery could be some time in November with Pacific Bariatric. All paper work has been with PB for a couple of weeks. The only thing I need is the authorization for my one day consult in San Diego. Once Kaiser finishes there reviews I could be on my way.

I am truly excited.

    I am with Kaiser too. I started the process about the same time you did - March of last year. I have a pre-op with Dr. Billy in Ventura ( I live in Palmdale) on 1/4/10 and then will get a surgery date. This is taking forever is all I can say. But I can't complain too much. I've had blood tests, ekgs, heart stress tests, upper GI, abdominal ultrasound, x-rays.....and it's all covered.

    Keep in touch and let me know how it goes !!!
