Ok...maybe that is a little much, but im freaking disappointed. I got approved by Kaiser for surgery....happy about that....but I am referred to Dr David Suh...n the soonest consult date is July 19th...I was really hoping to have had surgery by this day....Oh well... I guess by expecting this, is the reason I am disappointed with July 19th, guess that means surgery will be mid august ...... Damn damn damn!!..... Ok I feel better.... but on the flip side from start to surgery will be about 6 months exactly...so I can't complain....but I will say......Damn Damn Damn...ok im done!! Lol

Hehe..... nice vent! :tongue2:

So kaiser fresno do not require the 12 week option classes? That's crazy...I enjoyed the classes though..they do prepare you for what's to come...but I love your 6 week time frame! How are doing with your weight loss?

I have been very blessed with no problems and I'm happy with my weight loss I am down 117 from my heaviest and 85 from jan 3rd when I made the choice and 57 since surgery. I have ran 3 half marathons since surgery and loving life!!

Called this morning and was able to get an appointment for next week. Called to cancel mine in Fontana and they said I would still need to have it. Only the 2 Fontana MFT's can clear me. ...... Thanks for trying

That is sooo not fair....it really shouldn't matter...Im having surgery outside of Kaiser ..n the surgeon said...it did not matter if it was done with kaiser or his psych....you would think Kaiser will allow u to go to another kaiser psych dept...I will b praying for someone to cancel...for u n myself!!!

Just be thankful it was approved. A lot of us have to go to Mexico to have it done.

I prefered Mexico.. no hoops, surgery date set up quickly and great physicians =)

@tonibug.......I have enough patience to go thru the insurance process vs paying out of pocket...if I would ve been denied....best believe I would ve pulled out of my savings...n went to mexico!! So to save over 8000.00 dollars by only paying 20.00 for consult and 100.00 for surgery...I could wait n b thankful that im not waiting a year...n that it was approved...also kaiser make sure u are well informed and prepared for wls...for those that choose to do so, but if I had it my way all wls would be a 30 day process from start to finish!! Lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
