I am currently on my 6th week Option class with Kaiser out in Fontana. I am glad to hear the good experience at St. Bernadine's Medical Center.

Thanks I needed to hear that

I must say, I miss the regular coffee a little bit. From what I've read here, it is okay to have about a cup a day after your stomach has healed, but I guess that might be something to check with your nutritionist or doctor.
As for the Decaf, I am drinking it. I just LOVE the flavor of coffee, so even though I had to give up the caffeine (for now anyway), the decaf at least gives me something warm and delicious that I look forward to every morning.

Been sleeping all day. ill give details later...but mood is

This is a big change for any marriage. An option is couples counselling.
I have been with my hubby for 26 years. We have a solid relationship before and after surgery. He was very supportive.
A few things happened.
I do many things without him. I go to the gym, hang out with friends. I go to the coffee shop by myself as a little treat for me. He was feeling left behind.
(1) I learned to invite him to come to the gym. Even if he says no.
(2) We have date night.
(3) When I hit a certain weight, We made couples goal reward . ( I took him to Victoria secret. Walked out with size small panties. NSV!)
I went from invisible to men giving me attention. I realized my husband was also adjusting to my physical change. His fear was I going to leave him. This sounded so ridiculous to me. I would never leave him...But he needed reassurance.
Having myself back. Healthy mentally and physically has improved our relationship.
The sex is all for the better! lol ( you will see that topic from male and female patients)
wish you the best,

Hello everyone, my original name on here was Anthony74. I was unjustly kicked off this site because I posted a mistake that I made by eating a grilled cheese sandwich too early. Only after I had been called out of my name several times by so called Bariatric vets, that I snapped and used vulgar language to get my point across to these bullies. Shortly after, I was kicked out the site. I just wanna lose weight and swap experiences with others. We all grow from mistakes. If I offended anyone other than those certain bullies that I won't name, I apologize!!! Let's win together!

Thank you so much for your quick response. This is so helpful. I had heard that his schedule gets very booked but I wasn't sure how far out. I have an HMO so I have to wait for my medical group approval before his office will set a date.

Hi everyone. My surgery date is 11/10. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.. and also feeling a little overwhelmed at times . This is my first time posting..was hoping to join others for advice and tips.

I live in La Verne so I attended the track of classes in Fontana. 12 weeks, once a week. We weighed in at the beginning of every class. You goal is to lose but it's very important that you don't gain. I lost 5lbs throughout the whole 12 weeks. I graduated in Aug 12th and have yet to have my surgery. I did everything that was expected out of me on time. Even had to get a sleep apnea machine. I had my final appointment with the doctor and the therapist last week. They signed me off to move onto to surgeon. They said it could take up to two weeks to get a call from them. I swear this has been the longest process ever! But I will say the classes are very informative. I enjoyed mine and learned a lot from them. If you have any other questions on the process let me know!

On my way to the hospital for a 6am check-in! Make room on the loser's bench! ????????????. Best of luck and prayers for all my Oct 18th BP Pals!

My date is Nov 18 - good luck to us all!!

I have been approved and given November 30th for my surgery date. I go for all the pre op work on the 15th and also find out how long and what to do on the pre-op diet. 17 pounds will put me below the BMI!

AMY" data-cite="AMY" data-ipsquote-timestamp="1471147862">I Just finished my 12wk option classes with Kaiser in Fontana,Ca. August 2. All by labs and my visit to a support group is all done. Im just waiting for an appt. w/ therapist for mental evaluation, bariatric physician and surgeon. If I dont hear anything by August 30, I am to call Kaiser. Hopefully I get a call this week. The classes are great. So much necessary information to keep you prepared throughout the entire journey. Take lots of notes and get to know the ppl in your class. It helps to form a support group while taking the class. I drove about 1/2 hr to class and ended up meeting my classmates and learned they lived near me. Good luck!
The funny thing is that when I was leaving orientation, my next door neighbor was outside & apparently she's taking her last class this coming week! This will be awesome. We don't have much in common but we've talked a few times in the last 5 years that I've lived here (they've known my dad for 20 years). I'm really excited about all of this. I know it will go by fast. I just want to be on the other side of it already lol.
