Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Thats wonderful news !! thanks for sharing Shell > I can't believe it happened so fast. My doctor referred me on January 30th, I had my appointment with the nutritionist and behavioral medicine specialist on March 8th and 21 days letter they wrote the letter saying I'm approved! I got it yesterday and I was so nervous I could barely open the letter to read it. I don't have my orientation date yet, but I'm so glad the waiting is over just to find out if I've been approved. It just seems to have been so quick- -but maybe the real wait has just begun! Anyway, it's the best news I've had in a long time and I just wanted to share it with everyone. > > Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hi, My doctor is and he is at Kaiser Sacramento, Point West Facility. I absolutely love him--he is so thorough. I've only been in Sac four years and the first doctor I had I didn't really like (nothing to do with surgery as I wasnt't considering it then). I requested a new PCP and my first visit brought up WLS. He submitted the referral online while I was still there. He is monitoring me for other issues that surfaced in some tests he ordered at that time and he is totally on top of everything. I would recommend him hands down to anyone, anytime.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hi Congrats on getting your approval. That is one of the biggest hurdles we need to clear on this journey. I remember when I got my approval letter - I was just bursting at the seams wanting to call and tell everybody. Hope you get your orientation appointment soon. You might to check in on the Kaiser web page occasionally for your appointments - it seems that quite a few folks have been finding out out their appointments faster that way than waiting for the snail-mailed notice. All the best, Kay open RNY 12/1/03 chris lopez wrote: I can't believe it happened so fast.
