Hey everyone. I'm in Auburn which is basically in Sac since my doctor is in Sac. I'm still doing all my pre approval BS And were shooting for April. I need local buddies.... This is scary!

It is scary but you will be in very capable hands. Read and learn as much as you can on here. Follow the nutritionist's guidelines on Vitamins and Protein and you will set yourself up for success. WLS is more of a head game than anything else, I highly recommend regularly attending a support group. At almost a year out, I still attend and learn new things. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Erica

Thank you soooo much!!!

I'm in grass valley. My sleeve surgery is Wednesday. It took me 10 months to get through all the tests and weigh ins. I haven't really figured out how to post from my iPhone but I'll figure it out. :)

I am in Roseville near Sacramento. Just starting my adventure. I think I am going through Kaiser South Sac. Anyone here who had surg there?

Hi, everybody.

This is my first post and I am going to my second "Information Seminar" tonight. I went to one about 2 1/2 years ago, but never lost the 35 lbs I was required to lose, and so I was never eligible at Kaiser Richmond. Now, I have new insurance and I can choose from Valley Care (Livermore or Pleasanton), Stanford, or UCSF. I know I'll still have to lose weight first, and complete a 6 month diet, but I'm feeling motivated!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
