Hello everyone, this is my first post here! I have a Drs Appt 2/9 to request a referral for WLS!! Anyone close by and in a similar situation??

Hi there, I too am starting this journey through Kaiser, fontana, I've already seen the Dr. And am waiting for my options class to start in March!!! Where are you located?

Awesome!! I'll actually be seeing my PCP in Colton so I'm pretty sure I'll also be going through Fontana for classes!! Did you just straight out tell your Dr you want WLS??? Lol, I don't know what to tell her tomorrow!

How'd the appt go? Were you able to get the referral?

Yes I went through kaiser fontana options and meet surgeon on Tuesday to schedule sleeve! !!

Totally forgot to update, but yes I did get the referral. My Dr was pretty negative about WLS. BUT I have orientation this Monday in Fontana @1:30!!

Awesome, so exciting!!!

Awesome, so exciting!!!

Hopefully, I'll be starting Options in March also!! We may see each other there

I have to do my classes on Mondays, I believe the next class that starts on a Monday is March 2nd, so excited

Totally forgot to update, but yes I did get the referral. My Dr was pretty negative about WLS. BUT I have orientation this Monday in Fontana @1:30!!

So, I went to my first class yesterday. There was a SUPER SHORT blurb on WLS and I was hoping I'd get more info!! Anyways, I made an appt to speak with a Surgeon (Kaiser in Redlands) to see if they'd recommend WLS. It isn't until March 10th I wish it was sooner, but I'm sure time will fly as it always does!!

My first options class is Monday the 2nd at downey. I asked my doctor for a referral on Feb 5 and I got a call from Options on the 6th. Went to orientation now I'm confirmed for track 215!

That's awesome! I saw the Dr last week. When did you see the surgeon??

I'm in Options too. I just had class 5 in Fontana. So far I have passed all the tests. I have to find a support group meeting to go to. Has any one been to the one at St Bernadine?

Haven't met with the surgeon yet. I was told that we don't start seeing the surgeon until we're towards the back end of the program

The support group in ontario is really good

I am going to my 4th Options class tomorrow evening in Fontana. The classes have been interesting so far. I just can't seem to diet yet.
