Can anyone tell me about the whole kp process? Do they require 6 months of options classes now? And do they still require 3 months of prior supervised weight loss attempts?

I went through kp Richmond I believe they are somewhat different, but I wasn't required to do classes. I was required to lose some weight. But not much.

No problem. Did you just start the process? Some places go by your starting weight.

I have orientation scheduled for March 31st. I had orientation originally in 2012 but never went through with anything. When I spoke to Dr their she said that things have changed a lot since then so I was just wondering what has changed.

Hi, I am 17 months post op, San Diego Kaiser. I am also the founder and admin of the San Diego Kaiser support group page, and often speak in the options classes.

Yes Kaiser does require the 6 months of options classes, during the classes they ask that you try and loose %10 of your body weight. The paperwork said they needed documentation of supervised weight loss program, but I was never asked to show prof.

Thank you! That would be awesome if the prior attempts weren't necessary. I have attempted just nothing documented besides weight watchers

Yeah I was super worried about it, and stressed myself out for a month.....all for nothing.

I will tell you I was not happy about the classes, and had an attitude. But they are more valuable than you will ever know!! they were an honest gift, I am so much more knowledgeable about my body and the process because of it and am so thankful for them. Yes it is a huge commitment, but I believe it is why I have been so successful.

Oh good! I'm excited for the classes. I want and need all the information I can get. I hope the times are flexible though as I have twins babies at home and have to find a sitter so I can go to classes.

It is not. Once you choose your class, it is 6 months once a week and if you are more than I think 10 minutes late you have to make up the class, also if you have more than 2 or 3 absences you have to start over. They want to see you are committed. I know there is a morning class not sure of the time, 4pm, and 7pm. Mine was Thursdays 4pm.

I am also the founder of the Pacific Bariatric FB support group page (that is the medical group that Kaiser outsources to)

Where did you take your classes? I will be doing mine in San marcos.
