I everyone I am new this and I am currently going through the process with Kaiser here in Oregon. I am wondering if anyone else has gone through or is going through the process with Kaiser and how things progressed for you and timelines.

I am going to my second group meeting on Wed.

I have Kaiser southern ca & the process was fairly quick! I met with dr, he referred me to Option Classes. Had to go to that 12 weeks. Then bloodwork & wait for referral. Once I got my referral to surgeon (outside of kaiser) I had 1 appt with him & my surgery was set for 2 weeks from then. Had my pre op appt the following week, psyc evaluation & more bloodwork. From the time I finished the classes my surgery was only 2 1/2 months later. My surgery was on April 8th. Only 2 weeks out but feeling pretty good

Oh that's awesome! We have an 8 week class and two group meetings before we meet with the nutritionist and the psych appointment I am just hoping that all goes quickly for me! Glad you are feeling well!

Kaiser San Diego is 24 weeks of classes.

It is, but part of me is very grateful. I know I need to make lifestyle changes and figure out the emotional part of my food problems. The surgery only operates on your stomach not your brain, and I know I need the extra time to process and learn why I do what do and then change it.

Luckyducky how are you doing?!?!

I have Kaiser in Oregon. It's taken me 4 months and I'm ready to meet the surgeon. Good luck!

Luckyducky how are you doing?!?!

I am doing great down 103 lbs total. I am down 69 lbs since surgery. It's been very easy to get used to and not many issues with eating or feeling sick either. Thanks for asking.

I am using Kaiser for OR/WA as well. I got my dr referral back in October and I am currently waiting on my follow up with the nutritionist and social worker next month. They have been super backed up lately so it has been taking forever. Hopefully after I get that done I can meet my surgeon soon!!
