Kakatlady612, I know I read on here that the time goes pretty quick. So hopefully it's does. Im still confused with the whole 6month vs 3 months with a multidisciplinary program I don't really understand the difference and the insurance company doesn't really know either (odd right). I guess I will find out at the consult. The new seminar is tomorrow so I guess I will see.

HELLO GIRLIE,

So I am definitely a newbie here. My insurance requires a 12 week program prior to scheduling a surgery. So my classes start at the end of February so i am definitely trying to get this done and trying to get some type of support group going. I come to all these forums to get info and some real answers. I am nervous because I'm pretty young and don't have any children. I do want this to effect my children and I have never had surgery in my life but i am definitely look forward to it and side bar I am not telling anyone but my boyfriend since we live together I have no choice .

Don't be nervous, this is a positive change. Surgery is scary but it is literally over before you know it! You wake up like huh?

It is def a scary and exciting experience all in one. I have a 3 month program to do and possibly 6 month I find out for sure when I go to my first appoint coming up. But I'm stalking this site.

I had six months. It was kind of brutal but after month 4 it all goes pretty quickly. Just get your appointments in, don't gain and if you need a cpap, USE IT.

Hi Jaz-

This is my first post as well. I live in Southern California, and my insurance provider Kaiser Permanente, requires a 12 session OPTIONS class to learn about the surgery and prepare with diet and exercise. I just completed OPTIONS on January 29th. My surgical consult is scheduled for February 27th. We have been told that there is an average weight time of 77 days from the date of our consult. I have lost 10 lbs since starting OPTIONS in Novemeber, and Kaiser requires a 10% weight loss prior to surgery so I have 12 more lbs to lose. I pray that I can meet their requirments, this surgery is so important to me. I am so happy that I found this site. Looking forward to walking through this journey with people at all stages along the path.

Blessings-Staci

I am so excited I am with Kairser west LA office as well. I start the OPTIONS program on the 21. Please keep me posted on your progress. I am so glad to see someone around my weight getting is also because everyone is convinced that I don't need this and that I can work out on my own but they don't know my journey and my yoyo so I am glad. How was the OPTIONS program ?
