I think the requirements that you have to go through are mostly dependent on your insurance requirements but I'm sure each surgeon has their own preferences too. Either way there's a lot of hoops to jump through....it makes getting your date that much sweeter. Maybe you can ask him to consider the RNY if you lose the 30 or 40 pounds, the nice side effect to that will be it brings your bmi down too!

Hi Meldyer, nice to see another person in Sac here! We are the same height but my starting weight was about 50lbs more than yours. I saw on your ticker that you've lost 72lbs, congrats! How much did you have to lose before surgery and how much have you lost since?

I was told to lose between 40-50lbs before surgery and ended up losing 60 before surgery. As of a few days ago Inhave lost 16lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago and really notice it the most with the inches lost.

Hi Lisa, I had surgery on June 15 and am also in phase 3. I'm just finally starting to feel normal again after being readmitted to the hospital for dehydration and an infection. I'm not far from Orangevale in Citrus Heights but I go to the 24 Hour Fitness on Auburn and Van Maren although I haven't been back in since surgery and I have mainly been using the pool until I work up to the machines. I'm looking for someone too. You should update your profile to show your surgery date and info so it shows in the forums! :)

Hello! I had my R-n-Y TEN years ago this year (!!) at Kaiser South San Francisco. I've gained back most of my weight so my new provider (in Stockton) is helping me get back on track and recommended this website. I live in Midtown/ East Sacramento and was wondering if there are any support group meetings anywhere during the week? Thanks!

The only ones I know of are across from Methodist hospital in the South Sac/Elk Grove area but they are free and open to everyone. I need to make it over to one of those myself. Here's the 2016 schedule with the address.

Hi, has anyone gone to Dr Eslami? I was just wondering about the 6 months weigh ins if my insurance doesn't require it.

Hi Chloe, Dr. Eslami did my surgery. I think it's Dr. Eslami that requires weight loss before surgery not the insurance, I don't know about the 6 months worth of weigh ins though but it was something I had to do. It did include the weigh ins with the dietician I had to see before being able to be seen by him though.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
