About a week out from surgery and would love to hear from others who may be having surgery around the same time.

Hi! I'm in so cal!

I'm in Riverside, Had my surgery on Monday July 23 @ Kaiser Southbay. Feeling ok, very sore and heartburn really bad today. Anyone else in this area?

I'm a few hours away, had mine last week....in Bakersfield. I haven't had heartburn, I actually haven't had any since surgery and I'm loving it, that was a major concern for me going in.

Lucky, I've never suffered from heartburn, until now.. Yuk, no bueno.

SF TUMS are really helping though, thank goodness

I'm glad you liked him. He did my lapband on 07 and never believed me when I told him it slipped 3 days later. He removed my gall bladder a few months ago and FINALLY confirmed that it had slipped.
