I was just approved and will be starting the 6 month pre op program at Kaiser. Is there anyone in the SoCal area or maybe someone who also has Kaiser?

Hi there! I'm Lauren. Just made my account on here tonight. Still in the beginning stages of looking into gastric bypass. I'm in So Cal in the Riverside area. Noticed you have Kaiser as well? I know the rule change from each location, but do you have any advice on trying to get approved? I'm switching to Kaiser starting January and want this process to go as quickly as possible Thank you!

I am now 8 weeks out. I know each Kaiser is different as far as how long the process is. All I am say is no matter what take each ounce of education as gold!! I was resentful about having to take a 6month class but it was sooo important post op.

How is everything going after the surgery?

It is actually going well!! I have not had any complications.

I was at 250 when I started my program at Kaiser, I lost %10 (25lbs) during the 6 month program. Then 41lbs since surgery for a total 66lbs!!

Wow!!! That's so awesome! Congrats )))))))

I'm having my surgery in Riverside! I'd love to stay in touch.

That's awesome. When is your surgery date? Are you going through kaiser as well?

Ms Lauren what's new in your process?? This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.
