Finally I went to my WLS introductory seminar that's required by my health plan (Kaiser). Next I have to wait for my PCP to give me referral to the bariatric program. I did notice the health educator was really pro bypass. The guy next to me and myself are wanting the sleeve. It will be interesting when I get to talk to the surgeon to see what he says. Kaiser does offer the sleeve but I think it's a newer procedure for them. At least I'm on my way and finally getting the ball rolling.

Nice first step, good for you. I am with Kaiser as well and I finished the options classes about a month ago, I really learned a lot. My surgery is 7/27/15. You will be able to choose what surgery you want when you get to the surgeons office. He may recommend something but you will have the choice. I am having the sleeve done. Really pay attention in the classes they are important.
