Hi again everyone, I had my orientation today in vacaville, I have my surgeon appoinment next monday the 10th. I was given Dr. Fisher, does anyone have any feedback on this Dr? He was at the orientation but really could not get a read from him. and I have to make one quick vent.. why do they use chairs with arms when they know they are going to have a room full of large people.. sigh... it was a very long day. lots of information though, still not sure if the band or the sleeve is right for me.:thumbup: It is exciting and scary all at the same time. starting the "meal plan" tomorrow wish me luck :thumbup:

Thanks ALi, Chrissy, & Heather for getting back to me and thanks to everyone else on here.. its nice to know you guys are there to help with questions and concerns. Ali I hope you are feeling better and back on your feet soon :redface: I am sure I will have more questions after my orientation Sherri

Hi Yes Im new... found this forum as I was researching information on the lapband. thanks for letting me know they do the sleeve, do you know if choosing the sleeve increases your wait for surgury? or is it about the same? Sherri

Hi everyone I have my orientation next tuesday may 4th at the vacaville kaiser. I was lead to believe from the 2 hr overview class that kaiser does not do the gastric sleeve yet. My appointment is through Kaiser Richmond. Can anyone tell me if they will do the sleeve? I was leaning towards the band but if the sleeve is available I would definately consider it. would love any input, thanks so much sherri :redface: anyone else here going to the orientation on the 4th?
