  1. I’m having mine on the 2nd, and feeling the same way! Let me know if you want to be buddies! [emoji5]
  2. I’m not telling many people either!
  3. I’m scheduled for May 2nd, too!! I’m thinking about bringing some loose loungewear, and maybe a maxi dress or something. Hopefully we will only be in the hospital for one night! I hadn’t even thought about how many people may be in a room together, I wish I’d asked! How are you feeling as the day approaches? I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone, like this can’t really be happening!
  4. Awesome! I think Bakersfield has more patients at a time than Fontana, our classes had around 30 people in them and I’ve heard Bakersfield has 75-100! It sounds like it’s all going smoothly for you, I’m glad!
  5. I just got my date, May 2!! How are you feeling as it approaches?
  6. How are you feeling as the day approaches? I just got my date (5/2) and I can’t believe it’s so soon. I’m nervous and excited!
  7. MAY 2! Let me know if anyone what’s to be buddies!
  8. What happened? Were you pregnant? Super interested to hear how it went if you were!
  9. Hi! I’m curious if I can find anyone from my options class to see how things are going. I started in November, and the class ended in Feb (Monday nights 6pm). Even if you’re not from my class, I’d love to connect with other kaiser patients. I have my appt with Dr. Chin on Friday (4/20/18)
  10. I’m meeting with Dr Chin in two days! Hoping to get my surgery date. Eeeeek.

  14. I’m meeting with my surgeon in two days and will hopefully get my date then. Can’t wait to find out, but I’m already feeling the nerves.
  15. Hey Matt! How are you feeling now?
  16. Have you gotten your date yet?! I have my appt with the surgeon on Friday and I’m anxious to find out how far out they will schedule me.
  17. How are you feeling today? Excited for you!
  18. I’ve wondered about keeping the incisions dry with waterproof bandages
  19. That’s great! How long did it take for you to be back to a pretty normal schedule in daily life?
  20. How does the bottle light up? Does it somehow correspond with how much you’re drinking?
  21. I’m curious how long it takes for the incisions to heal? And more specifically, how long until we can swim?
  22. I read online it is more likely that women will have a c-section after having WLS... am I remembering that correctly? Do you have any experience to share?
  23. How long after surgery do you have to wait to swim?
