I went to an informational class 1/30. My first appointment with the bariatric department was 2/12 and many surgery was 4/10...so it went really quickly for me.

Hi im from sacramento

Hi Jaejuicy!

I went to an informational class 1/30. My first appointment with the bariatric department was 2/12 and many surgery was 4/10...so it went really quickly for me.

Omg mine was quick also i had my first appt March 3 and surgery was April 4th. I have a coworker that has Kaiser and wants to do the surgery. But they keep telling her she needs to do other things. Did u have to do other thing or waited for a certain amount of months. Thanks sorry for asking all this

I have kaiser the process is fast I started at the end of January. The longest wait was my surgery date which was about 3 weeks out.

I had my initial meeting with the surgeon where he gives you a weigjt loss goal. There is a 4 hr class, 2 hr nutrition class, Psych visit and one mandatory support group. How quickly you progress depends on when you meet your weight goal. I had to lose abt 20 lbs from my highest recorded weight.

Jaejuicy...who us your surgeon? Mine is Dr Grinberg.

Lol.. mine is Dr. Grinberg too. Scheduled tomorrow

I really like him....and the office staff. I may have met you at one of the meetings? You will have to upload a picture!

Good luck tomorrow! Tmw is 4 weeks for me...excited to move to "soft" foods. My 1 month follow up is Friday.

My procedure went really smoothly. I had my gallbladder removed as well. I had surgery at 8 am on wed snd was ready to checkout at 3pm Thursday. I didn't have any nausea or severe gas...though I was sore and tired!

I might go to the next group too. Its just a little far for me to drive. I think you have to be on the website ( not mobile) to upload a picture. Its under profile or account I think.

Yes. Please tell me how to upload a photo. I have the support class scheduled on Monday.

Uploading a picture: when you are viewing the threads/forums page from your phone, at the bottom, there should be a gray bar with buttons on it, such as "messages", etc. Scroll that bar to the left and you'll see the "profile" button. Once you click on it, there will be a box where you can upload your photo :)
