APPROVED by Kaiser Mid-Atlantic

[Tangy 61]

Hello All,

I am nervous nelly right now but wanted to share my good news. I have completed my 6th months program. My papers were submitted on Jan 15^th. Nut stated it would take two weeks to get a decision and sure enough I received the approval on Jan 29th. I am now scheduled for a consult with surgeon on Feb 13^th with Dr. Liao at GBMC. This process just got real! Hoping all goes well.

Congratulations on getting approved!! I had my surgery at Kaiser (Southern California) too. What was your 6 month program like?

[Tangy 61]

Thanks! The process was smooth until the 6th visit due to my nut going into labor & I had to drive an hour to another kaiser to see another nut for my last visit. It was a lot of confusion but it all worked out. Thank goodness.

Oh! I remember reading your post about that. I think another poster was also going through the program and they didn't have a NUT to cover while she was out on maternity leave.

Yes!!! Just could not believe they did not have a back up plan in place. Found out she had twins. Think she got her hands full now. Lol!!!

That's awesome!!! I want to have your stats but I don't imagine I'll be losing 50 lbs in the next 6 weeks. Hey a girl can dream. Men lose faster anyway...
