This means I’m waiting for a surgery date to remove my lapband in one surgery, then a second surgery will be scheduled for the gastric Sleeve at a later date. I have to go through the 6 months process to do the second half because of Kaiser’s process. I think that is extremely long but rumor has it some patients clear early.
I went to 2 classes thus far. An orientation class & general nutrition class. Each 2 hours. I learned a few new things from the Nutrition class & id like to learn more. The other class was just an over view of the 2 surgeries they offer & steps that need to be completed. All very familiar but a bit more lengthy than when I got my lapband 9 years ago.

Things I’ve got to do now are blood & stool lab work. Then start the classes for bariatric surgery. Unfortunately for me, Kaiser’s bariatric Program is booming so I won’t start these classes until October.
It’s kind of a waiting Point right now. I don’t have to do anything for the lapband removal BUT I do have to wait until the surgery scheduler calls. It’s a holding period in my life because you have to stay available for a date to come up. That’s frustrating as I’d like to know so I can plan it around my life.
