Kaiser is so crazy... completed Options April 25th and then the long Fontana wait for a Mental Health exam' date=' that was June 25th, today I got the call for my Surgery Consult and I was for Dr. Philip Lou Chin at St. Bernardine's specifically. No Hub referral -with a choice of West LA or Torrance. Dr. Chins first available consult date is Aug. 3rd. Trying to be glad I have that..... but will call his office tomorrow to see how far out his surgery schedule is and if I need to figure out why I was specifically assigned to him and how if possible to transfer to West LA or Torrance.[/quote']

Wow I don't know what they are doing over there. The good thing is you get to stay close to home. It's a long drive to west LA. Keep calling them to ask about getting in sooner.

As of now my surgery date is august 31st. If I lose 10 sooner than my preop appointment I may go sooner. So I'm on a mission, bought a new Protein and I'm going to replace 2 meals with it. And up my exercise.

Which I am actually very glad about, because a lot of ppl are being delayed. So I'm happy. Lol. I mean I know its only a few weeks, but a few weeks is a few weeks. ;)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
