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

It just seems so far away

It just seems so far away

It does at times seem like it is a long process. It seems like once you have dates for your next step, is when it starts to go by. Where r u having surgery??

@shrinkydinkme.....if it is in San Bernadino...just a fyi that might help!! I just called the department of psych in riverside...this is where I had mine done....they said their soonest appt is june 2 ... n it does not matter if your pcp is in another city...kaiser is kaiser n they do the psych eval for surgery too...so give them a call 951-248-4000

Tickiest2thick, I have a question...When you called the psych dept did you have to meet with a Therapist first? then be referred to the Psychiatrist for the actual appt? Which means co-pay $35 bucks a pop, yuck. Did you just speak to the Therapist or did you go straight to the Psychiatrist?

No I did not have to meet with a therapist first.... I called and scheduled a appt with a psychiatrist. I just told them I needed a psych evaluation for bariatric surgery.
