I wanted to know if anyone had luck getting into seeing dr for first appt quicker then original date that was given to you when you first called for appt.  I am wondering what the chances are of being called after someone cancelation?  It does not seem that the office wants you to call them for cancelations??? Anyone got any tips?

Also how long was the wait from the first visit to the surgery date?

Hi Faedra, I am a Pacific Bariatric patient and I think if you let them know that you are interested in having surgery sooner than your scheduled appointment that they will definitely notify you when there is a cancellation.  Also, make sure they know that you are available if they call you with a cancellation.
Best wishes,

Hi Faedra,

I'm a patient of Pacific. I had my 1st appointment on May 14th and my surgery is scheduled for July 16th so thats about two months. Not sure if it could had been in June because I needed it for a later date.

Good luck

I just wondered if there is a way to get this surgery done before school starts back up for kids?  Aslo what the chances of getting in to see dr sooner then Aug since that is their first available as of now and they do not have my paper work yet from Kaiser.

I did not request to be placed on a waiting list but I do know a few folks who did want to be on the list and they were called in.  They were given a few days notice...Good luck.

I am a pac bar patient, I know that they have a lot of patients who waited until the summer months to have surgery so they were off or while the kids were out of school so the wait time is a little longer over the summer months. They helped get me in as quick as possible when I found out my insurance was changing, so I think they really do try to get everyone in a.s.a.p. Good Luck!
