Hey...did anyone ever create the FB group? I find it easier to follow. I'm July 6th and am currently shirking my liver. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I am scheduled for bypass on the 6th. I have an itchy situation going on down there. My primary has prescribed me diflucan. Has anyone taken this is close to surgery? I do have an email out to my bari team but they likely won't get back until tomorrow...and my bits aren't happy. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

That's different. I'm talking about during class. Two weeks before surgery you go on a semi liquid liver shrinking diet. I was never told I had to lose weight but the expectation is, if you do it, you will lose something. I imagine not losing would be a sign that you didn't complete it.

Heads up, Colorado does not require you to lose weight. You weigh in the first class and are told not to gain weight. If you do, the surgeon may not take you. They weigh you again on your last class and day of surgery. A woman from my class told me on the day of surgery the woman before her weighed in 2 lbs heavier and they cancelled her surgery. California is stricter than Colorado. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

We had 6 weeks, one class a week for about 1.5hrs. No one mentioned to me a remote option and I live in the Springs. I guess there was another class where people conferenced in. I did a make up class that way and it was horrible. I recommend in person They have the classes at 3 different locations. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm also Kaiser CO. I have my surgery booked July 6. I can tell you right now you won't be August. After your last class is done (and you see the psych again, but this is typically done during your last week), you'll wait a week or two to get a call to schedule your consult. That is typically scheduled a week out. Once you see the surgeon, they give you your date. Which surgeon you see may impact your wait time. I got Rahem and my surgery was scheduled 9 weeks out. Others in my class had the new guy, Johnson and got in earlier. Who knows, by the time you finish it may all equalize. I'd plan on surgery being 6-8 weeks after your consult, so 7-10 weeks after your last class. Oh..and if you are an ex smoker, plan on taking another nicotine test after classes are complete that will add 2-3 weeks to the process. Let me know if you have any questions though. I realize I sound like I'm raining on your hopes...but as someone who just went through the frustration, I want to help really! Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you allowed any food on yours? If so, maybe you should eat it around lunch to help get you through the day. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

July 6th in Colorado. Im so impatient its making me crazy! Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

You have amazing children. Great job an raising caring souls!

I should be joining you in May as well!

Kaiser Colorado here looking at May for sugery hopefully. Looks like CA is much more stringent than CO. We have 6 week classes and dont have to kose any weight, just not gain any.

Perhaps you should look into better shoes with the support for your particular foot type? I have super high arches and had PF bad. I only buy shoes with great arch support.

I really think it depends on you and your job. If it requires heavy lifting..or any lifting, then you may need longer or modified duties. Im told the harder part is feeling tired from not eating and adjusting to new rules, not the healing itself.

Thanks for that feedback! Im debating sleeve vs rny myself so Im hoping the classes and surgeons can help me decide. Its great hearing you had such a positive experience
