This may be a reacurring Topic, but Im new to the site and would love your feedback on the process you completed with Kaiser all the up to your surgery day (or receiving the date for some)

I just completed my options classes 8.16.11 and now I feel like a lost child wondering around at the park... Im currently waiting to be contacted for a consultation with the surgeon. I was told that all of my lab work had been completed and other test and now it's just a waiting game. Not to mention Im still working on my 10% weight lost that must be completed by my surgery date.

Pre Options: 260lbs

Post Options: 248

Must be 237lbs by my surgery date

Im not sure where I am right now but Im almost sure I've lost 1-2lbs this week, I've been working out really hard and eating some what of a healthy diet.

How long did it take for your to get your surgery date after you completed options?

What facility were you referred to for surgery?

Are you currently attending the support groups?

Did options help you maintain yourself in the process?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback folks =)

I finished my Options class at the Downey Kaiser on Aug 27th. I ended up calling them, when I hadn't heard anything. Long story short is, they got me my referral to Dr. Edward Mun at the South Bay Kaiser. I was excited to find out that Dr. Mun is one of the best surgeons in the world. Anyway, I had my appt with him and I'll be having surgery Oct 25th!!

Good luck to you!!!

Oh wow that was really quick!! I wish i could find out more information on my surgeon !

Yessss maybe I just never took the time out to really search but I just found 77 reviews about my surgeon on obesityhelp.com

I finished my Options classes on September 19th, had my Doctor's Talk on October 5th, Nutrition class on October 11th, appointment with Surgeon on November 4th and my surgery date is November 28th. So I'm all set for Fountain Valley. Anyone else having their surgery there?

Hello Ericka,

I am with Kaiser WLA I had my surgery 9/29/11. I finished my options class 2/2011 and on 8/30/2011 I was giving a date. I thought the same thing you did. It felt like forever for kaiser to call me. The good thing is, after surgery, the worst didnt happen and I am doing great. Its been about 2 weeks and i am down 21lbs. Good luck. Just know that when you think they are taking too long call call call and bug them they will give you a date believe me.
