Fast track through Kaiser

[LisaM 3]

Yeah it was packed, is it usually like that? I'm doing good. Started the pre-op diet and everything else the day after orientation. The 16 lbs is since 5/29 when I started a diet on my own. I have lost NOTHING since orientation and starting the pre-op diet!! It's SOOOO frustrating. I was doing a diet with an app on my phone from 5/29-6/14 eating 1900 calories a day and lost the 16lbs. Now eating about 1200 (usually less), still exercising the same as before (an hour a day, 7 days a week) and nothing! No budge on the scale. My first surgeon appointment is 7/14, my lifestyle class is 7/13 and I start my 14 week class at Kaiser Santa Rosa on 6/30. I'm calling Dr. Im for cancellations every couple days, they said it's rare for a consultation cancellation.

I would assume it's always packed because it's covering basically all of northern CA. I'm sorry you're not losing. I wasn't losing at first, now I am, but I wasn't dieting before I started. Drink all your Water and get a good nights sleep, I think it helps. I think I got lucky on the cancellation thing. I called at 4 p.m. the day after our orientation and they had a surgeon appointment the next day at 4 with my same surgeon! So keep trying, it can happen!

I was originally scheduled for my consultation on June 30th and I called once a week to check for cancelations and I got in for my consultation way earlier. I think they may have told a little fib when they said it's rare for consultation cancellations because, think about it. They give every single person a consultation appointment that goes to the orientation. A lot of people leave the orientation thinking to themselves "Oh man, this is NOT for me..." they wait a few days to think it over, then call and cancel their appointment If you want to get in faster, definitely keep calling for an earlier appointment. That's how I've gotten through so fast. Good luck, girl!!

Well, my surgery date is tentatively schedule for July 27th! I will get a phone call on Monday or Tuesday if she can get me in earlier. I really wanted to be able to have surgery in early to mid July because I work 8-5 then go to school from 6-10 and school starts in August. I wanted to have plenty of time to heal before going back to that crazy schedule. So we'll see. But for now... I HAVE A DATE!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
