Just looking to start a new thread or meet some NEW people that have had Kaiser sleeve surgery or are going to have sleeve surgery soon. I am Chrissy I live In Sacramento. I was JUST sleeved on June 16, 2010! I was sleeved at Kaiser Richmond by Dr. Im. Looking for new people, Fun, Friends, new issues, recipes, suggestions, or just to talk!

If u can do Fremont instead!

Thanks Darlene!!!! I was just reading all the posts and how well everyone is doing after surg!! And all the tips everyone gives eachother is great!!!! I'm glad I found you guys!!!

I live in Sonoma County and I have attended the orientation at Kaiser Richmond and have an appointment with Dr. Im on July 14. I'm really excited about it!

Congratulations Sunshine. I had Dr. Baggs and I love him, and my Sleevie.

Thanks Lee!!! I've heard sooo much about Dr Baggs!!! Would be lovely if I get him!!! We shall see

Is the group meeting at Arden Fair on June18?

It's actually the 25th and it will be the last meeting. And Angel (the facilitator) won't be there. She is unable to lead the meetings due to a time conflict, and Kaiser has decided to pull their support for our meeting. Major bummer!

Hey winecountrygirl let me know how your progress goes!!! Congrats to ya!!!! I'm excited too!!!

Sunshine, they set me up with a different doctor and I told the woman scheduling my first surgeon appointment that I would prefer to wait for Dr. Baggs. I had to wait a month but it didn't matter because I knew I'd have to shed the pre-op pounds anyways. I didn't have much to lose by the time I saw him. Your surgeon follows you forever so make sure you get someone that you really like.

Hey winecountrygirl let me know how your progress goes!!! Congrats to ya!!!! I'm excited too!!!

Totally girl! I have already dropped 14 lbs. I'm not sure how much they are going to tell me I need to lose but I hope to be near that goal or at it when I meet with the surgeon. I'd love to get this surgery in 2 months...I'm motivated!

Thanks Lee!!! Good to know!!!! @ winecountrygirl Congrats on the 14 lbs!!!! That would be nice if u didn't have much further to go!!!

I had my pre-op appt with Dr Alami on Tuesday, everything went well, then..... I wake up the next morning with a major cold. Dang.... I spoke with one of the nurses, she said to wait and see how I feel on Monday. (Surgery is Wednesday). So not cool!

Hi Heather,

I am just checking on you to see how your feeling. I really hope you are feeling better.

WCgirl-

are you in the SR Kaiser 14 week support program?

I will be finishing my last meeting- and may have some extended support meetings on my deck- pool side- if your interested... totally informal- just share/chat and ask...

My wife and I have decided to share our stories/tricks/tips if any groups need guest speakers.

just trying to return it...

Hey Neil!

The next support program starts the 30th. I REALLY want to go but I don't have the $160 to pay all at once. I WISH they would let me make payments! Both my kids are attending camp in July and I have already committed the money to that. I'm so bummed. I would LOVE to come to the support meetings you are facilitating though. The Kaiser Santa Rosa meetings are only monthly and I called to ask about it the day after the last one! I barely missed it. Where are you located?

Thanks!

Tanya
