I'm so glad to hear you doing great . You look wonderful . How had was it after ? Dr coon in riverside

I had mine with dr coon in riverside and he is the best!

Follow directions and you will be having a speedy recovery.

He is amazed by my progress but it's because I was dedicated to follow through with everything.

I was up and walking an hour After surgery. I went home a day early

I just have to ask this...why, oh why are we not having some kind of get together when so many of us are in Southern California? Something informal would be so cool. A day at the park for a group RNY picnic or something? It would be so awesome to meet everyone, don't ya think?

As for me I'm just barely in the Inland Empire in Pomona and I work in Orange county.

If any one is interested, send me a message.

Wouldn't it be great to have a group picture with all of us together?

I hope everything went smoothly for you!

Count me in Ms. Jen! I'm in South Bay but my wife works in O.C. as well. There seem to be a lot of folks who either live or work in O.C. and there are tons of great parks (maybe Mile Square, Irvine Lake, Disneyland?). I would love to meet everyone and exchange experiences on our journeys!

Good luck! Where will you be having your surgery?

Good luck! Where will you be having your surgery?

I think at Methodist hospital in Arcadia. My Pcp is referring me to a gastric doc. I'm guessing though.

I'm in Mission Viejo and will have my surgery 10/3 at FVRH. Nice to see some neighbors on here

Your surgery will be on fountain valley?

[tp100 25]

Your surgery will be on fountain valley?

Yes, Fountain Valley with Dr Tieu in 8 days.

[Jen in SoCal 189]

Wow, 8 days? How's that liquid diet coming along? Is your Surgeon with the LePort group? His name sounds familiar. I had my surgery with one of their surgeons but I had mine at Chapman in Orange.

[tp100 25]

I am supposed to lose 5 pounds, so he said a 5 day liquid diet

[tp100 25]

Oops pushed send on accident...

5 day liquid would start on Friday but I've already lost 3 so we will see if I will need to actually do it.

I started off my first weigh in at 227 and when I saw him my weight (there) was 218 at home it was 213 and now at home it's 210 so I'm not too worried about it.

How's your journey going? I am so stressed out waiting to let someone cut me up. Between work and surgery anxiety, I'm kind of shutting down a bit.

Best wishes to all with your upcoming surgeries !!
