Hi All,

I am a newbie on here. I searched for Bay area forums and it brought me to you all. I see a lot of Kaiser people too. I am on the weight loss portion of this journey. I need to loose 20 pounds before surgery. I am down 6 so far. I am a patient at Kaiser Fremont and a patient of Dr. Christine Chu. Would love any feed back. I feel like now that I have the mind set to have surgery, I want it now. I really hope that I can do it in Feb. Just so hard this time of year to be changing your life.

Thanks, Drea

Hi Drea,

I went through Kaiser Fremont and had Dr. Hahn. I met a lot of people at the Kaiser support group who had Dr. Chui and they all loved her. It is hard at the holidays, but so worth it!

hey would anyone want to start a little social support group. I think getting together at a coffee shop or anywhere we could just meet and support each other would be fun and we could get information from each other. I am asking because im finding it hard to find support groups outside of the hospital where I am having my surgery....I live in Greenbrae but dont have any problem traveling to any place in the bay area. If anyone has any other suggestions for other support groups please let me know :)

Thanx,

Marcia

I am interested in having a monthly meeting in San Rafael. Is anyone in Marin? Any thoughts? I wonder if I contact Kaiser if they might have a room where we could meet, and possibly anyone to lead it. They don't have a bariatric center there. Please let me know if you would be interested. Thanks!

I think Dr. Jossart is in Novato or Marin. If you call his office, they may either host a support group or know of one in the area.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
