Anyone going to or have gone through the Kaiser South Sacramento Orientation? I go Thursday for the 4 hour class. I'm pretty nervous about going. I really really hope they approve me.

Hi, nor sure if you have completed the orientation yet, but I just inquired. If you have do you have any advice or input? If you didn't what stopped you?

Hello. I did go through it and I'm now almost 3 months post op! It was a long orientation, but the program and surgery are definitely worth it. This was the best decision I have ever made. Eat a big breakfast beforehand and drink lots of water. I wore jeans for this weigh-in, but then for all my others I only wore leggings and a sleep shirt. Take your time deciding which surgery you want. This is a decision you can't change after you have it, so be sure you choose what is right for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I do have questions! From the time you went to your orientation until surgery, how long was it?

What were some of the requirements you had to meet? You mentioned weighing in ... what was the reason for those sessions?

I know I have many more but my brain is fried right now . I have my orientation on the 29 of August. I think I'll call in the meantime to see if they have any cancellations.

Talking one on one might be easier for all your questions. Do you have Facebook messenger? Or we can text

I would like to know your timeline as well. My orientation is the 29th as well but in SSF. I meet the surgeon on 9/1. Any insight would be very helpful, ty!

Oh wow you had the appointment with the surgeon scheduled before the orientation? How was the orientation for you, did it make you have any second thought? I had my appointment before the class was over ... Sept 15

I had mine today and it was interesting. I'm quite a picky eater, but the list they had had plenty of options.
