Hello from Sacramento Kaiser. Just started the Gastric Sleeve program last week. I was at 280lbs. now 272lbs. Have to lose 10lbs then they schedule the Sike doc. appoint. Then schedule surgery and I lose the last 5lbs before. My Wife is helping by doing the 1200 calorie diet w/me. I was going with the lap band but as you probably where discouraged by Kaiser as well as the bad long term results. They say it may take 3-4 months from now to get a surgery date. Where are you at in this process? I'am 55yrs old male.

Sleevedreamer, so you are 4-5 months post- op? How are you adjusting? How much have you lost?

I have lost 41 lbs. and was never nauseated nor had any pain at all. I am only 15 lbs. from my goal. I love my sleeve and it loives everything I eat. I still can't eat over 8 oz. at a time and I can't get in over 800 calories a day but I get in alot of Protein and drink a gallon of flavored Water a day. Take Bariatric Advantage chewable multi-Vitamins and Iron pills. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 8. Please, please follow your doctor's orders for pre-op and post-op diet and don't try to rush things after surgery. Your time will come when you can eat regular foods again. You need to give your stomach a chance to heal. Good luck!

Oh don't worry, I don't play around when it comes to medical things. I am very by the book. I am hoping to be as happy & successful with my my sleeve as you are. Thanks!

Hi ladies, I'm a newbie and just starting my journey I've completed two months of the mandatory 6 months. I plan to have my surgery completed with dr. Mueller as well I have sharp for insurance. Any suggestions? Wait time or things I should be aware off. I would really appreciate it. I'm so excited and looking forward to my new life
