Yes it's for the first consult with the surgeon. I spent all day checking all the doctors at the West Los Angeles kaiser and came to the conclusion that I feel confident that all the doctors there are capable of doing this procedure. So tomorrow morning I'm going to call and see if I can't get the appointment with the doctor that has the least wait time till surgery

I asked to be referred there. If I wasn't referred from fontana, I would have to wait until the hub called me. Who knows how long that would take. It seems like kaiser fontana has the slowest process.

Yes I talked to sleeve4me she's a great person and she invited me to attend the monthly meet up support group. I haven't found anyone else that went through kaiser so bay.

Keisha- I went to the meeting with Sleeve4me in May. It was sooooooooooooooo awesome. So very informative. Going to go to the one in July as well. Hope to see you there!

Well I called just now and they gave me an appointment for July 13. With dr casillas. I have heard mixed reviews about him. On other hand my mom knows him from when he was a resident at harbor ucla. She said he is not that bad

Were the reviews based on him as a person, or bad reviews on the surgeries he has performed....Congrats on getting ur date!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
