Thanks for the info. I heard Dr.Suh was really good as well. In fact I heard the two choices for the Corona program are either Crown Bariatric with Dr. Suh or Pacific Bariatric that I previously mentioned. Three weeks is what I've been hearing concerning the referral. I have attended the Pacific Bariatric Seminar and have completed all their paperwork. They're just now waiting for Kaiser to send them the referral and then I can get started on their process. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they allow u to choose which one u will be referred to. I know they say will not know for sure until u get ur referral...did they say u will go PBS for sure???

Well..she told me that they usually just refer to Crown Bariatric if you don't request PBSMG. I told her specifically that I wanted to go to PBSMG. She then asked me did I know which doctor? I gave her Eugene Rumsey who is the same doctor that conducted my mom's RNY back in Dec.2009. He's awesome!!! She was able to put that into the system so that the case manager sends the referal to PBSMG.

Yes! There's 3 appointments all in one day, and one of those appointments is a psych evaluation.

The three appointments are with the Surgeon, Internist, and Psychiatrist.

Hi, I have just decided that I want this surgery and I am a Kaiser member. My bmi is 36.5 right now. I am wondering if there are any folks from South Bay that were in a similar situation and can give me any pointers to make sure that my surgery gets approved. I am prediabetic, and have also have high blood pressure. I think I may have sleep apnea. I have made an appointment with my doctor to get her to order a sleep test. A firend of mine had Dr. Moon and he really liked him. Anything anyone can tell me would be so very appreciated.

My process took a total of 5 mos from surgeon orientation to surgery day. Congrats to those of you who have been sleeved and for those of us that are on our way. Best of luck to all.

      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?
