I'm a doctor at Kaiser not a nurse. I haven't done the sleeve yet because they changed my meds and I'm losing weight. Wanted to give it a couple of months to see if the weight would come off on its own. I was a 10 until they put me on these meds and nothing worked so I decided to try the sleeve. Now that I'm off the meds I'm hoping!!

I find it interesting that as a Doctor at Kaiser you can get the sleeve done. I am a PO employee based in the Ohio region and was told I don't meet the BMI requirement for recommendation of surgery.

Maharet, that's a shame you don't meet the requirements. My BMI more than meets the requirements, I have knee replacements and high blood pressure so I'm eligible, just scared to do it!

,kndi, Yeah for you, keep me posted how it goes

He is booked up till then. I don't have to start my pre op until the 18th so I can actually get myself mentally ready. I started a "to do" list last night and there is enough to keep me busy. I could not sleep at all last night!

Surgery went great' date=' I had to do 2 wks liquid diet pre op, which sucks. But worth it . After my first visit with him it took 6 months to have surgery, because of my insurance . They required a 6 month weight loss first with my primary care dr & a full medical evaluation with specialist .[/quote']

How long was your hospital stay and how was the hospital? Im nervous because I live in Morro Bay and its a looooong drive. Just dont know how much time I'll have between surgery and a 3 hour drive home.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
