Question:
Kaiser North Members! Does it really take 3 months for each step after approval?
I heard on another message board that kaiser north takes 3 months between each step after approval to the actual surgery. If that's the case then it'll be another year before I can even think of getting this surgery and I've already been waiting 2 years... — AliciasMommy (posted on September 4, 2002)

My total wait from the day I saw my PCP to ask her about surgery, to my
surgery date, was 14 months. Here is my timeframe:<BR>
2/2001 Saw PCP and asked her to refer me for RNY<BR>
6/2001 File sent to Committee (all tests completed plus 10 weeks of
nutrition classes, which are not required but I did because PCP told me
to)<BR>
9/2001 Approved for surgery<BR>
2/2002 Consult with surgeon<BR>
5/2002 Surgery at So. San Fran. Kaiser
