Yes I waited and waited for kaiser to approve my WLS. I was finally approved after 9 months. And now my surgery is 1 week from today, but they are sending me to San Diego for the sugery. I know it's hard to wait but your time will come. Keep calling Marina at the committee for updates.

I too am waiting to hear from Kaiser of Northern Ca. I started the process in May, as of three weeks ago my paperwork was submitted to the committee for approval. I was told that it can take anywhere from three weeks to three months for an approval. I am patiently waiting and waiting for an approval. I pray that I hear an answer soon, due to back pain, knee pain and hip pain. However I know that all my hard work will pay off. Also, I am very grateful for my PCP's efforts, she was eager to help me, and got the ball rolling. Continue to stay postive and know that in the end...you will have this surgery!!! I wish you continued success on your journey.
