Any Bay Area California Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm just starting the process, anyone near Santa Cruz or Santa Clara? I will be going through Kaiser Santa Clara and would appreciate some local support.

I am not from the Bay, but am close-ish lol I am from Mendocino County, about 3-4 hours north of SF. I know someone that went to the Kaiser in Santa Clara.

I am sure there are tons of people on here from that area, but wanted to offer support anyhow.

Thanks, I've gotten no responses, so I was getting a little discouraged.

Maybe there aren't as many in this area as I thought?

I do appreciate your reply.

Hi Kate, I live in Santa Cruz and had my surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital (Blue Cross). My surgeon is out of San Francisco, but has offices all over including San Jose. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't work with Kaiser.

Where are you in your process?

I've only gone to the about orientation, will go to the surgeon orientation in about 3 weeks, I'm just starting.

Would love to talk with you if you're amenable to that.

      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! 😞
