Topic: RE: Kaiser Fremont question?
I also had my surgery at Kaiser Fremont. I had a wonderful experience, I had Dr. Chu. I would give Nancy a call. She is very nice, but remember the best angle with her is to kill her with kindness. I would keep calling every 2 weeks until you get your date.
I wish you the best of luck.

Topic: RNY Surgery MARCH 13
Hello Everyone,
I am finally having my RNY surgery March 13th! I am also having my gallbladder out at the same time however my surgeon said that he is going to send a scope down to be sure that I do not have any gallstones in the bile duct! he says that it is very uncommon but he wants to do that to be sure there arent any because after surgery i cannot have a scope go down my throat. He says that if there are any in my bile duct he will not be able to do my RNY....I will be devestated if this happens but Im praying for the best and getting both surgeries at the same time :)

Topic: RE: Kaiser Fremont question?
Dr. Dutta reviews his charts in a timely manner and doesn't let the charts sit on his desk. He usually gives them to the surgery scheduler within 2 weeks. I know that the surgery schedule is pretty full and there is a waiting list. Call and ask to speak with Nancy, the person who does the scheduling. She is the gate keeper and at this point in time, you will not be "bugging" them. She is very busy, so friendly reminders are not out of line. When you talk to her, ask to be placed on the cancelation list, so that you can possibly have your surgery, sooner than later. April is already booked from what I have gathered from people at the support group.
Best of luck to you!! I really liked Dr. Dutta.
