Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hi Carla, 6 to 12 months sounds about right - but there are quite a few variables. Things like - do you have a well-documented diet history? - how quickly can you manage to scheduled for all the various tests that your particular program requires? - and how fast can you lose that dreaded 10%? However, since each Kaiser Bariatric Program seems to be a bit different, could you tell us where you are? All the best, Kay open RNY 12/1/03 carlitasanchita wrote: I saw my PCP yesterday.
