Kaiser people.....

Hi Lisa,

My name is Sabrina, I have 2 classes left until I can call the surgeon. Were you saying things go fast after one graduates from the class?  Do you know how long it takes to get a surgery date?

Thanks!

 Hi Sabrina, Tomorrow is our last class. So we will see how long it takes from there. I have a friend that is going through Pacific in SD and she finished her classes in December, Her surgery date for she sleeve isn't till late April.  I am told that Dr Ferdorka isnt that far back so we are hoping to have our surgery's with in the  next few months. Which will put us pretty much 1 year from start to finish. But we will see. 
Hey you are welcome to add me and my hubby if you would like. His name is Ken Endean and I think you can also find him under tworuntrip.
You can also add me on FB if you would like.

Thanks Lisa! I added you and your hubby!  I am sooo excited! I'm sure time will fly by!  I'll just try and keep busy until then, but it's hard not to watch the calendar! 

Hi was just wondering how long after graduation was it before you met with the doctor Fadorka. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas.

I am not a Kaiser patient but I did want to welcome you to the Cali Board. You won't find a better bunch of people. Please post anytime you want. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask. No question is stupid. We are here for you. Good Luck and keep us posted!

I have dr fedorka. Great doc. I was one of his first outta kaiser. I had my surgery July 28. I was nervous to go to him because he only had done 120 surgeries before me, but I am glad I did. He was great and if u get thechance to go to him, go for it. I have no regrets going to him... And I got a surgery date very fast with him
I was seriously his 3rd patient from kaiser. If u have any questions, feel free to email me or post on here. I haven't checked this in a while or even updated it, but I will. Talk with u soon

 Thank you all for the warm welcome! I have not met with Dr Fedorka yet but I do have my consult appointment on Feb 7th. I heard he was about 3 weeks out for surgery after the initial consult, hope its the same. I hope it's ok to ad y'all, I know I have Lisa ( thank you). I wish everyone a healthy, complications free , fantastic journey! 

Thanks so much, all, for posting this helpful information.  I am also a Kaiser patient and start my classes in Palm Desert on February 4th.  I am very excited to get started on my journey.  My name is Sharon and I am working in Riverside, but live in the desert.

 Hi Sharon, Congrats on starting your journey. I hope you enjoy your options classes as much as we have. I am going to miss them when they are over. I think Kaiser did an excellent job educating us oh our new way of living. Good Luck to you.

I'm in Murrieta, but only have 2 classes left till I see the surgeon to see if I'm a canidate. I would love to get some feedback about, "What does Readiness look like for a Kaiser surgeon?" Thanks everyone!
