I believe my mother in law used Dr. Suh for her bypass surgery about 10 years ago. She lives in Murrietta and I could've sworn that was her Dr.

If it was, her wait time was a whole year, but please take into consideration that it was bypass and 10 years ago. :)

Yay! I have him too. My consult is feb. 28th I believe after you consult you have pre op testing (which I proactively started). Then they get a pre auth for surgery and schedule your pre-op appointment. He also wants you to go to a support group meeting and a seminar. I'm going this coming Monday to his seminar. I already did the support group meeting. I hope there isn't a lot of time between the consult and the pre-op appointment. I'm praying for a march surgery date. :)

Hope this helps.

How did everything go? I'm a band to sleeve revision, and have my consult with him in a few weeks.

What does he require before the surgery? How quick is his scheduling?

Hey!

Well, I went to my consult and it went great. His nurse is really nice but a little pushy for the Rny By pass. Dr. Suh said the sleeve is great and I would be perfect for it.

I did all my pre op and then he required a 6 month bariatric program class for me.:( Im really bummed but after that class its pretty mucha guaranty.

According to my medical group, its a requirement. No way around it. Not everyone has to do it.

Im not quite done yet.

Best of luck to you :)

I had my consult with him on March 7th- and my surgery date is April 27th!!! I had already completed my process through Kaiser so when I met him all I had to do was the support group and the seminar. I have not yet done the support group.

Wow, that is quick.

I have Blue Shield, which it appears is one of the easier insurance providers to get approval from. Also, I have already had a baby born this year and gall bladder surgery, so my deductible and yearly maximum are already covered, so it would be basically free if I'm approved.

My band has slipped and needs to come out. My BMI is "only" 33, and don't have much in the way of comorbidities at this point, but I'm hoping I will still be ok for the surgery.

If it gets dragged out and I have to do a bunch of stuff beforehand, then I might be out of luck if it drags into next year.

Did you end up using Dr Suh?

Did you pay our of pocket or insurance cover it?

Can you share your experience with me?

      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
