Hey we’re twinsies!! I had mine the 4th too and I’ve lost 10 lbs since the surgery and I lost 15 before it! So I’m at 25 now and starting to feel great. It is def had to get enough fluids in. I sip ALL day on Water and my clear Protein (except when I’m going to try to have a “meal”). I drink my Protein Shake in the am within the first hour of getting up but I usually can only get down half of it in an hour or longer. I always go back to it later. I make sure I drink atleast 1 clear protein and 1 1/2-2 shakes and WATER all day- that will help with the constipation! Message me if you need any other help! I can help wherever I can!

Just had my surgery yesterday aug 4, been trying to get all my fluids in but it’s hard get a weird pain if I drink to much in little time. It kinda of similar pain after you’ve done a lot sit ups or crunchs.

I literally posted about this a couple weeks ago. I was worried that with surging covid cases, they would shut down the elective surgeries again. My surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. This morning about 10 am, the nurses called me to give me instructions for pre-surgery. Then they called me at noon to tell me they were canceling me.

The worst part is that my husband lost his job, and I’m losing my insurance. This isn’t going to happen for me. I’m devastated. I’ve been crying since they told me. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now. I’ve been on liquids for a week. I just feel like.... I have jumped through every one of the hoops for this insurance. I waited months the first time the hospitals were shut down. Finally got a consult. Finally got a date. Made it to THE DAY BEFORE.... I just don’t even know.

I’m two days out things are getting real, kinda of nervous. I start my liquid diet tomorrow 😅. Wednesday is the big day 🥶

i’m out of surgery, first night! The gas pains are horrible

It’s time to go to hospital shortly! Will post afterwards if I can!

My surgery is tomorrow ! I report at 11:15 AM

Hi 8/2/21 for me!

I’m on the 16th. First time poster here

You should definitely contact the airline ahead of time and tell them that you need help. They will take you in a wheelchair from check-in to your gate and then help you get on the plane.

Yes I had VSG thru Kaiser North in California. I had my appt with the surgeon two hours after my intro class. I knew I wanted to proceed so if the appt was available, why not? Good luck!!

@Mgeorge408 if you go to you kp app or online check under appointments,then go to the more tap, then it should say referral and it will show surgeon referral

I’m sorry you have to go through that. The girls at Kaiser west la have been very nice. I got my referral on a Thursday and called that Friday and left a message, ended up receiving a call couple hour shortly after with my appointment date. I think it depends on the area and how backed up they are.

@tinyhounds, I finished my class in June, finished my labs in June, have my appointment with the surgeon July 16, but they told me I won’t get my surgery date that day, did you get it when you met with your surgeon?

I finished my classes in February, got the green light for labs at the end of April, and finally had my surgery consult yesterday (7/6). My surgery is scheduled for 8/6, so it’s been nearly 6 months since finishing the classes!!!
