Hello anyone going through Kaiser? I am done with my 10 week classes and was wondering how long after do you speak to Surgeon and get surgery date? TIA

I hope they dont make you do the psych visit now.
Did they say you have anything else to do like blood work? I hope not and you are all set to go.

I doubt it i just got a call today from the surgery dept. They said everything was clear and good to go ... it wierd though they wont tell me the time until the day before ??‍♀️

Omg Im so anxious. Everyday I just wait and hope that they call me to schedule my surgery. The waiting is so hard.

I will thank you!

Surgery went well currently experiencing some gass pain but not to bad...hoping that there isnt much change in next few days

Yay! So glad it went well. I was thinking about you yesterday. Congrats!

Oh that is great news! Like they walk, walk, walk for those pesky gas pains.

I been walkinf as much as possible trying to avoid taking the pain meds as much as possible.. i actually haven't taken any since being discharged i was given a few there...thanks!

When I had my hysterectomy the doctor brought me sugar free gum to help with the gas. It was really bad and they dont let you go home until you pass gas. Just a suggestion if you want to try or can even get some.

Got my date: my date is March 24th

Yay! Im so excited for you. Which hospital are you through?

I’m going through Kaiser South Bay with dr Kim.
I am scheduled for the 24th and she will call me back to figure out the other dates for pre op appointments. I have to do one in person meeting with him (pre op) then another phone visit with a nurse prior to surgery (plus I’m sure covid testing as well).

im so excited!!!!! It’s finally happening!!!!

I just called and Ontario still has not opened up Bariatric surgery. The waiting game is killing me.

Ugh. It was killing me too.
I ended up messaging my case manager last week (just to let them know I’m ready and anxious because I haven’t heard anything) . That was Friday. And I got a call this afternoon.
I was trying to not be pushy but I know they have been open since mid February. perhaps if I had called earlier I would have been scheduled sooner but at least this step is done. Next step surgery
