Recommended Posts

Anyone in Simi Valley or the surrounding areas who has gone through the sleeve or is planning to? Sound off!

I'm Mallory, by the way, and I am going through the Options Program with Kaiser Permanente - Woodland Hills (class starts 10/1/2015! I'm so excited), then my Surgery will take place in West L.A. I am looking to loose about 130 lbs.

Hi Mallory,

I'm in the SFV, though my SF doc has a support group in Ventura that my wife and I frequently attend (she went through this ten years ago.) You have quite a ride in front of you!

btw i did the Options program at Woodland Hills Kaiser a few years ago and it was great, really educational. Unfortunately i didnt end up getting the surgery back then but a few years later im less than 36 hours away from it,i changed my insurance to PPO so im not doing it at kaiser but youll do great, youll learn alot during the options program...the food and exercise logs really help open your eyes about what we put in our bodies....best of luck on your journey!!!

      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!!
