August Surgery

[ThePurpleOne 2]

Hello new here. I’m scheduled for my surgery in August. Anyone out there scheduled for August? I am into affirmations and any positive thoughts and vibes. All vibrations will help you feel more confident and calm in the process of this new life journey.

Welcome and I am scheduled to have my surgery in August 2023 and it seems so far away but it’s really not! I’m also a believer of positive thinking and speak life into your situation. I look forward to following your journey 🙌🏽🥰🙌🏽🙏🏾

Hi and congrats to you both! I’m so proud of you! I just started Kaiser’s 10 week Options classes. My fingers crossed for an August date! 🤞🤞 🫶🫶

Hi Helen, please to meet you! 😊 I went through Kaiser a few years ago, and the process was easier. I think you’ll get a August date.

I'm August 14th. Now that I got my surgery date I'm getting nervous about if I should really do this. I've been working on it for over a year, but it's real now.

Hello EVERYONE. I am scheduled for Aug 9. I started the process Jan 31st. The worst part for me is waiting for insurance approval.

We are one months away. I have been getting more and more nervous about it. Has any one started purchasing items to prepare for their surgery?

Hi, All! I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery next week (8/16/23)! Kaiser has prepped me to the extent that I feel comfortable with the whole process. I am a bit worried about pain post-op, as I am going home same day. However, doc says gabapentin will be good enough, and he will call me the next day to be sure. I don't expect much after 3 days, though.

I wish us all good luck, a speedy recovery, and all the weight loss we are hoping for. 🙂

Happy trails,

Marian

I am with Kaiser as well, how long did it take for Kaiser to contact you after your options workshop.

Hi Friend,

I finished my Options classes last Thursday. They called me to schedule my consultation today (5 days later). HOWEVER.... when I signed up for the Options classes no one told me the wait time from end of classes to Surgical consultation/final clearance (only the amount of time from consultation to surgery, which was relatively short). I learned today that the next available in-person consultation appointment is 10/13..... then who knows (looks like I dont belong to this August cohort anymore. Sigh). The woman I spoke with told me I could contact the nurses office daily to see if there were any last minute cancellations. This is all specific to Kaiser Panorama City.

Hope that helped. 😕
