Welcome weigh8nomore!!! My experience with Kaiser has been awesome. I know it's a long process but they really want us to be informed and the classes were great. The doctors and educators really do seem to care. We are all truly blessed to be having our sleeve done with Kaiser :-)

Are there any recent patients (like now or this year) of Dr. Zane or Dr. Belzberg here? I am curious about how long it was from your meeting with your surgeon until your surgery date.

I have been referred there to Harbor City, but they won't schedule my appointment yet until they receive the referral paperwork. I have a lap band that needs to come out, and I hope to have the sleeve put in. My stomach hurts all the time, and so I'm hoping it won't be a month wait for an appointment with the surgeon and then another two months until surgery.

They called me for my appts. I think it just depends on which of the hospitals has an opening first. I got in because someone got cancelled cuz they gained weight. I am sorry you are in so much pain.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
