I'm in Santa Rosa Ca, in the wine country. I was sleeved at Kaiser South San Francisco.

I just had my surgery 3\19\2015

I'm in palm springs ca

I'm in Manteca and my surgeon is in Fremont...

Apple Valley, CA (High Desert on the way to Vegas on the I15)

I'm with Kaiser - my first Doctors appointment is tomorrow @ 8:30 - surgery should be in July-August time frame.

I am in NE Los Angeles between Glendale and Pasadena. I have Kaiser. Which office should I consider? My PCP just told me she would refer me yesterday, so I have not been contacted yet.

Am in Yuba city, also having surgery in San Jose? When is your?

I had surgery in West LA Medical center with Dr. Benjamin Kim last December. My surgery went perfect. The pain was almost nonexistent. The results have so far been fantastic. I've talked with a number of others at the Hollywood Kaiser Bariatric Surgery Support group, and they have had similar feelings with their surgeons at West LA. I recommend you come to the support group. It's walk-in, free and great place to get your questions answered from other sleevers and the medical professionals that run the group. The next one is:

When: June 16th, 5:30pm (every third Tuesday)

Where: Conference rooms at 1515 N Vermont Ave, L.A., CA 90027 (probably the same place you're doing your Options classes)

PS: expect a long (at least 3-months) wait. The doctors in West LA do sleeves and bypasses all day every day, but still have a very long waiting period.

@@Dave in SoCal Thank you for responding. Is this three months after your three months of classes? How often are the classes in Hollywood. I am signed up for orientation this Weds, May 6. I will consider attending the support group, is that a support group for post-OP.

Do you know if I will have a problem getting approved if I have an over 40 BMI but no other issues (yet) like diabetes or heart disease, etc.?

Thanks!
