Hello Everyone - I hope you all are doing well. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my Group. I just completed the Nutrition and Lifestyle class at South San Francisco and me and met some AMAZING and nice people.

NP Kirk Philips was there and spent some 1 on 1 time with all of us which I thought was great... I'd like to know what you all think about the program at South San Francisco, where you are in the process and how you like it so far.

I look forward to hearing from you!

 Hi Nicole.
I'm new. I've been referred to SSF by my Kaiser MD. Just waiting for them to call me to start the process. I have a bunch of questions, but here are a few to start:

 - What was your experience there?
 - How long did you have to wait to get your sleeve done?
 - Did you have to lose 10% presurgery? Did anyone try to challenge that?
 - Any tips/hints on how to massage the Kaiser system to go faster? Like call the office a lot? Bribes? (just kidding)
 - Which doctor?
 - What has your weight loss been like?

Thanks for any info/encouragement you can give me!
