Omg mine was quick also i had my first appt March 3 and surgery was April 4th. I have a coworker that has Kaiser and wants to do the surgery. But they keep telling her she needs to do other things. Did u have to do other thing or waited for a certain amount of months. Thanks sorry for asking all this

I had my initial meeting with the surgeon where he gives you a weigjt loss goal. There is a 4 hr class, 2 hr nutrition class, Psych visit and one mandatory support group. How quickly you progress depends on when you meet your weight goal. I had to lose abt 20 lbs from my highest recorded weight.

Jaejuicy...who us your surgeon? Mine is Dr Grinberg.

Lol.. mine is Dr. Grinberg too. Scheduled tomorrow

I really like him....and the office staff. I may have met you at one of the meetings? You will have to upload a picture!

Good luck tomorrow! Tmw is 4 weeks for me...excited to move to "soft" foods. My 1 month follow up is Friday.

My procedure went really smoothly. I had my gallbladder removed as well. I had surgery at 8 am on wed snd was ready to checkout at 3pm Thursday. I didn't have any nausea or severe gas...though I was sore and tired!

I might go to the next group too. Its just a little far for me to drive. I think you have to be on the website ( not mobile) to upload a picture. Its under profile or account I think.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
