Kaiser Patients - Have you taken the "new" 2 hr info class needed?

[tamra. 6]

Hi everyone!

In order for my dr. to send the referral to the "bariatric" dept for future info, etc. they are making me take a new mandatory 2 hr info class.

Has anyone else had to do this yet? What do they cover? How long after did you see the next step?

Thanks!:smile2:

Crazy! It has to be newer then we think cause some of the girls "Jess, Candra, candy" etc on our other board aren't having to take this class and they started the process like 6 weeks ago.. they are also very new to this whole process. I think most of them have just had the orientation and dr appt with the surgeon...

But Liz said it is a new class to help weed people out before orientation, since orientation was huggggge:D

Thats another thing it has to be less then a month old cause liz, robin and dr baggs told us at our fill last week that its a new step.

You will do fine im sure, and maybe since they should eb teaching you everything there that they do in orientation maybe that will make orientation shorter and easier:)

You will do great im sure:D
