Please Help.......

I have Kaiser Mid Atlantic and just completed their six month nutritional class and wanted to know if there is anyone else going though Kaiser and if so what is next. Also how long was it before you had surgery.....

Thanks

Welcome to the site and congratulations on making it through the first step. I don't have Kaiser, so I can't help with your question, but wanted to welcome you. :)

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

I don't know what Mid-Atlantic means with Kaiser, but I have Kaiser and live in Northern California. I did not have to do the options classes, but Southern California does. Those classes are 12 weeks long and you have to attend every single one of them and they are strict about it!

My experience with them was mainly testings, classes and evaluations. I had to do a pre-op diet and lose 25lbs. That was pretty much it! Easy peasy! I could have done it a lot faster, but from start to finish it took me 6 months!

Keep us posted on your progress!

Kelly ;)

I'm Southern California Kaiser and I had to do a 12 week class, plus all of the testing and had to lose 10% of my body weight before surgery. My process was much longer than most - start to finish I waited 17 months.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
