I think I told you on another Kaiser thread, but I was just sleeved on Oct 7 at West LA by Dr. Casillas.

Yes, you did!! ???? I remember because that's the same surgeon I want to use. @@thisfathasgot2go

@@HapyTrls Why January? You need more time for preparing or that's just the soonest appointment?

Husband is retiring the end of Dec and asked me to wait for him so 'he can take care of me' ???? after I thought about it liked the idea get through holidays w/o ?s etc we take a vacation on 1/2-1/9 and Then I am totally available to go and focus on myself til 8/16 our next vaca. Also will give me more time to lose and practice more on my eating changes. If I was ready to go then it may have been Nov or Dec due to scheduling

I was happy with the West LA Facility. The pre-op, op and post-op nurses were great. The floors and rooms clean. I had a large room and they allowed my mom to stay in the room with me in a chair that turned into a bed. The doctor, Dr. Casillas, was very personable before and after the surgery with my family (even though it was late, after 8PM) when he came out to tell them how I faired.

I would recommend it as a good place to have the surgery. I think the other choice is Harbor City. I live near Pasadena and BOTH are far from me. I wish they had the surgery at Sunset!
