To all my Kaiser family who took the options classes how long after that were you given a surgery date ??????

To all my Kaiser family who took the options classes how long after that were you given a surgery date ??????

Each Kaiser has a different process. Here's a rough timeline of the process I had to go through

- early Jan. referral from PCP
- mid-Jan orientation to Options program
- early Feb meet with program director
- first week of February start 12 week Options program
- mid-March (6 weeks into Options) meet with program director and complete all required tests
- last week of April finish Options
- mid-May final appointment with program director
- May 30 meet surgeon
- June 20 pre-op appointments
- June 22 surgery

Hope that helps! Although, the requirements at your Kaiser may be totally different than the Kaiser I go to in SoCal.

Thank you hun. And I'm actually in Southern California also I go to the Fontana office. Today is my last option class so I'm thinking in October I should receive a date. Thank you again have a blessed day.

I think it all depends if you get lucky or not when it comes to getting your final two appointments before seeing the surgeon. One of my appointments was postponed because the doctor called off sick for the day. But when I finally finished my appointments and saw the surgeon (on a Friday) I asked him to put me on the cancellation list if anything came up sooner than the date he had given me for my surgery, which was another 2 months out. They had a cancellation that Monday LOL. So I saw the surgeon on Friday and was sleeved on Monday. So in the long run mine went pretty quick. But I've heard others haven't been that lucky.

Good point!

My surgery was originally scheduled for 8/1 but I asked to be on cancellations list. Then they had me tentative for 6/26. Then the 6/26 date turned into 6/22!

That's so cool! Right around the corner! It definitely comes super quick. The only advice I can give you that others might not agree with LOL... if you like sushi do an All-You-Can-Eat for your last supper! Hahaha!!! I never got a last supper and I miss being able to sit down and enjoy the all you can eat sushi restaurants . But skinny feels better than Sushi taste! [emoji6]
