Kaiser Bariatric Class

[SunshineUnicorn 15]

So I was accepted into the program and go to the 4 hour class in a few days. They said they're going to weigh us and to wear light clothes. Anyone gone through thia recently? Do they weigh you in your clothes? Make you remove your shoes?

Which Kaiser location? Each one is different.

I went through Richmond. They didn't give us any guidance on what to wear. Most remove shoes.

I'm going to South Sacramento.

So, they just check you in, weigh you, then you go into the class?

They weighed us in class.

In front of other people? Or in a separate room?

It was in front of the class but the line was set back so no one could see your weight. But each location does things differently. Richmond keeps the process moving. I had orientation 10/21 could have had surgery 12/19 but it was too close to my husband on 12/21 so mine was 1/9.

I would wear heavier clothes. For Kaiser you have to lose 10% of your highest weight in the last 12 months to be scheduled for surgery so the heavier you are for initial weigh ins, the better (unless you've already had a high weight recorded for this 12 months which is higher than you are now)
