Which protein shakes so you guys like from costco?

How was your pain after surgery? I have a 1&2 yr old I'm wondering how bad off I'll be and how long my husband should take off once I get approved etc.

Great info thank you! Did you like the doctors

Thank you!!! How was your experience? Did you have to loose weight first. I have a bmi of 40

Same boat!! I have a 1&2 year old and never away from them. Can't wait to get some sleep but I know I'll miss them! Plus since I just had the two of them it seems so I hate staying in hospitals!

I'm really lucky with kaiser I only have a $500 copayment wish they covered the cosmetic part also!

Yay!!! Good luck!

I tried that through kaiser and I was not successful I was soooo hungry and cranky

Ok soda chips gone. I'm trying to get myself mentally prepared for my food funeral! In my famy food equals love and I love to cook home style meals. But I know this is the right choice! I'm 5'4" 236

Thank you! Soda is gone!

Thank you !

I haven't met with the surgeon yet waiting to be approved to move forward I just know this is a kaiser requirement. I'll give the protein shakes a try maybe for lunches and do a light breakfast And healthy dinner. Looks like me and my treadmill need to become friends again!

I have heard that not all patients have to so who knows! I'll start trying hard now

It's the surgeons requirement I have not cal kaiser. I would need to loose 22 lbs. your right though I just have to do it! I have a 1&2 yr old and it's so hard to get the time for myself

But if I've never been successful at loosing weight how am I supposed to loose 10%??? I've never been able to loose that much

I think you guys have really helped me!!! Verdict for me is sleeve if the surgeon agrees:) I'm so anxious to get this going!!!!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I wanted band but started reading up on it and seems like more up kept and more hassel. Also seems the band has so many complications and risks .

If i get approval I'll have my surgery at the Fremont Kaiser. Anyone go there and what was your experience Ana requirements???

Good luck!!!!

Wow congrats!

Congrats!!!!

And how has your experience been? I'm so terrified of the band slipping or having to have a revisions etc

This is all great advice thank you so much! Thursday mr psychiatrist will give me the ok to move forward with process or not. I think I will push for the sleeve! How was your recovery time?

Why did you make the decision to band instead of sleeve???

I appreciate it! All of your thoughts made sense to me!
