I'm scheduled for surgery Monday with Dr. Kyack. Has anyone else had their procedure done at South SF Kaiser? If so, how was your experience?

I was sleeved on Oct 3rd by Dr. David Le. He was amazing. I know the OR nurse that assists both drs and she says that they are both incredible. She mentioned that Dr. Khayat is new to Kaiser but that he uses a new simpler technique that the other drs have also picked up and it's been an amazing experience for all the patients. I can honestly say that I had a great experience and no complications whatsoever. Didn't have to do any pre-op liquid diets that many seem to mention here. Only a light dinner the night before the surgery. Best of luck to the both of you .

Thanks so much mirav79 that really calms me down jus to hear that cus I'm so scared rite now. I'm glad u had such a good experience hopefully I'm the same "let the blessing keep falling" sorry had a moment lol How long did u stay n hospital?

My BP was a little high so I stayed 2 nights but normally it's only a one night stay. I wish you all the best. I was nervous too but it really goes by quickly.

I'll be going in to Kaiser in South San Francisco on November 21 with Dr Robert Li. Excited, scared, lots of emotions. I go in for my final pre-ops next Tuesday.

Best wishes to you. SSF Kaiser is known to be the 'Bariatric Guru'. Nothing to worry about. The surgery is only about 45 minutes and then the journey begins. Since Oct 3rd I've lost 25 lbs and couldn't be happier. It will be the best thing you ever did.

So what about postop what and when do u eat?

I couldn't eat anything until the day after surgery. Not to worry though because you will not feel any hunger. For the next 2 days I was on a liquid diet (just broth, jello & tea/water). From day 3 until my 2 week check up I was on stage 2 of the liquid diet which included yogurt, mashed potatoes, creamy soups and a few other items that I can't remember but they should all be in the handbook Hope that helps a little.
