does anyone know the policy and procedure to have approval to receive the sleeve surgery through them ?

Have you noticed any changes in what you eat? Like certain foods, healthy foods, that you can no longer eat because they upset your stomach?

I took two weeks off but could have easily gone back in a week. I have a job that isn't physically demanding though. I was also very lucky and have had zero complications.

I did the two hour introductory surgery class and talked to my pcp. He said he sent a referral in to the bariatric department. I'm a bit confused with this process especially since reading the process of different heath care providers and Kaiser regions.

I did the 2 hour class, then got the referral from my primary care doctor for the next step. It took about 2-3 weeks in order for that department to give me a call. After the first week of hearing nothing, I contacted my primary care doctor and asked if he knew what the timeframe was or if he heard anything. He gave me the number to the south sacramento facility and I called. The lady who I spoke to on the phone says it takes a few weeks because they go over your chart first to make sure if you are approved. Once you are conditionally approved, they call you to set up the 4 hr class.

I hope this is helpful
