Any One Here Had The Gastric Sleeve Done By Kaiser?

[Mschristmas 9]

How long is the surgery and how many days do you all stay in the hospital?

They say it takes about 3 months after the 12 weeks to have a date for the surgery why is that?. After Reading all this inspiring stories I regret not having it done long time ago.

I had surgery with West LA Kaiser. The surgery itself took less than an hour. I was in the hospital overnight, no complications. I had my surgery about 6 weeks after my Options classes. It just takes a while for referrals and pre-op appointments. Someone in my class was two weeks ahead of me because she called them rather than waiting to get passed on to the next step. Where as, I let them call me.
