Hello everyone!!

I live in San Diego and I Have only a few weeks left in the Kaiser 24 week classes, I'm wondering how long it will take to receive a surgery date, anybody in the San Diego area with Kaiser Ins. that has completed the classes and received surgery? Kinda want to get an idea of a time frame

I finished my classes in Bakersfield on March 13th, received a letter of referral to the surgeon on March 16th and have an appointment to meet the surgeon on April 5th. It seems like its moving along, but I am soooo ready.

I did the classes back in 2010 here in San Diego. I lost about 25 pounds during that time, already had my gall bladder removed a couple of years before, so any possible roadblock they look for didn’t exist. I was the first to have my surgery scheduled and I would say my surgery was scheduled maybe a couple of weeks after. It all kind of depends on if there is anything happening with you that might delay things so it’s different for everyone.

I just came from my pcp’s office. I am going out-of-network for my sleeve, but the nurse who took my vitals had it done at KP. She did say the whole process to procedure took her about 8 months.
