I posted yesterday to another board and someone told me to post here, so I am hoping to get responses on this board.

I am new and was wondering if anyone is using Richmond, Ca. Kaiser for thier surgery? I have Dr. Fisher and wondered if any of you have him or have had him and what your experience was with him. Good or bad. I would like to hear it all.

Thanks so much!

I went through Kaiser Richmond and had Dr Fisher. I liked him, but there are others that don't. He is very straight forward matter of fact. If you are not serious about loosing the weight and sticking to the program he will be very hard on you.

For me that just pushed me along even faster. I quit my 6-10 can a day diet pepsi habit and lost over 30 lbs pre-op.

I hope you have a good experience with him

good luck

I went thru Kaiser Richmond but I had Dr. Park. I only have GOOD THINGS TO say about her.

One thing about Kaiser Richmond- They are NOTORIOUS for the GASTRIC Bypass surgery, ( positive manner) From Lap Bands, to the VSG Kaiser Richmond is the BEST.

All the Dr.'s in the Bariatric department at Kaiser are all pretty good.. I haven't heard anything bad about any of the Dr's there.

Good Luck!

so far i do like him..and yes he is very straight to the point and as a matter of fact type. i have lost 50lbs pre-op, so he doesn't give me any problems because he only wanted me to lose 25lbs.

i was just wondering if others liked him and if they did well with their surgeries. i know he is the chief surgeon, so i should be in good hands and all, i just like to hear about others success with the same surgeon.

thanks so much,

Glad you like him :-)

As far as success goes.. I have lost 129lbs with about 15 to go.. surgery was june 22nd last year

sounds like you are on the right track... great job on the pre op weight loss
