    Surgeon said we postponing for a month or 2. Far as I know it lasts 2 to 6 months and it could be permenent. My mom had it and cleared in 2 months. Im being hopeful. I wanted to race you on dropping them pounds

    Woohoo!

    How long was it after completing the Options program until you got your initial surgery date?

    I have my orientation to the Options program on Monday at Panorama City Kaiser.

    You'll get your psych eval done, xray, labs, everything while you're taking the classes. I did options at panorama like 3 yrs ago or so but Obama kicked in and I lost my healthcare. Then I moved to Lancaster and I took them again last year. I'm getting it done at the West LA Kaiser. Everyone tells me that's the best place to get it done
