Calling Kaiser Patients



Recommended Posts

I'm meeting with a post-op bariatric team on April 18th. Have any of you already done that, and, if so, how did it go?

The only part of the team with Kaiser that I have met with is the dietician. Kaiser in OC refers out to a bariatric surgeon. ;)

Sleeved 11/26 by Dr Fisher in Richmond. Had a great experience. Wouldn't change a thing

The Richmond program provides so much support and education both before and after surgery. Very impressed!

Although I am still pre-op, I wrote Dr. Im about my progress to reach goal weight. He sent back a quick and supportive e-mail. I'm very happy with how accessible he is.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
