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

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.

And that's why I did not have lapband....so afraid of that happening! What do you do? Get the sleeve or fix band?

I'm getting revision on August 8 with Dr. Suh in Murrieta. Hopefully he can do it in one surgery.

Hi all;

Just a reminder that there is a So Cal Sleevers group (see top tab) for you to join. Great place to talk to other local VSG patients in various stages of sleeve journey. Good luck to you all and remember we are here to cheerlead you onto victory. Hope to hear about your success!

Here in Mo Valley. Surgery tomorrow with Dr Fadorka. I' ve been a nurse for more years than I like to admit to but am having trouble switching to patient. Don't want to be the patient who brings her whole house but neither do I want to forget whats important. Everything at home seems to be set except taking the.dogs to the sitters,which means I still have 6 dogs to bath and groom. 4 are up.fot adoption. Any takers?

Hello I am in So Cal and had the surgery 10/11

So it looks like the last post on this thread was in 2012, but I thought I would try to restart this group because I'm from this area. I'm having my sleeve done in August at St. Bernadine's in San Bernardino with Dr. Fedorka as my surgeon. I'm going through Kaiser. Anyone else currently from this area going to get sleeved soon?

I just had my sleeve done this week. I am in south Orange County.

Through Kaiser in Harbor City.

In from riverside county and I am 1 yr post op

In from San Bernardino County with a surgery date of July 17, 2017 in Riverside county with Dr. Fedorka. I am excited to see other people from So.Cal. here. Is there another meeting area because I do not see much activity here? I am excited to see all the success stories and even some pitfalls that I can learn from.

Hello MsAngi,

I too am having surgery soon, July 17th to be exact. I am super excited and have met Dr. Fedorka and a few of his staff members. I too am going through Kaiser and have seen 2 appointments set. One for my pre opt with Dr. Fedorka and one for my surgery date. I do not know if there is something else I am supposed to be looking for like a letter in the mail but as far as I know I have been approved. Do you have any information on what to expect?
