It seems kaiser west la does theirs a little different.they wanted me to hit my goal weight then call and scheduele the surgery.after going on a 3 week diet I lost the 20 lbs they required.hopefully I can get a date sooner than later as they said they might be backed up into March Hopefully someone will cancel

Good Job with your weight loss so far. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get a surgery date soon!!

Wow these insurance companies are something else... it just seems like barrier after barrier.... but good for you for accomplishing that loss!! That is not easy and just keep going... no matter what barriers get thrown at you. You can do it!

Keep your fingers crossed. Your almost there!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.It looks like my target date is feb 6th which is just three weeks away.I am more excited than nervous and I am ready to begin my new life
