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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
