Thanks

There are several out west of the hospital on Geary but I would have to look them up to see what is there. I am not sure how cheap they are but they would be the closest and the safest area near Kaiser on Geary.

You could always check with the hospital as they usually have a list of the hotels close for families and also the costs. i know that we did when I worked at California Pacific Medical Center. So happy that Kaiser is paying for WLS.

You'll be in South SF, right? There are a bunch of hotels near the airport and south of it... Should be safe and close! Call the office and ask what they might recommend... They are all so sweet and helpful, especially Joyce! Good luck! I had my surgery there with Dr Alami 4 weeks ago today!

Which Kaiser are you having your surgert......San Francisco on Geary or South San Francisco (Daly City)?????????????

They don't do bariatric surgery at Geary, just SSF!

I am sure that there are hotels out by SSF as they are near the San Francisco Internations Airport. I would ask the Kaiser SSF as I know they must have a list for families that stay close to the hospital if they have a family member there. Oh and sorry that I did not know Kaiser Geary did not do the surgery. I hated Kaiser when I lived there. I am surprised that they will even pay for this surgery.!!

Hello Kimmie-sleeve...

I am starting the process in LA at a Kaiser...in SSF do they require attending 3 months of classes?

I had to do classes, but there was no time attached to them.. I think I had to take 3 classes on healthy lifestyle and nutrition and info about the surgery then about a week before my surgery I had another group class for pre-op.

Good luck in your process! I love my Kaiser team!
