Dr. Krahn and his team were professional and supportive. I stayed overnight in the hospital in my own room and the nursing staff was very attentive. I would definitely refer this hospital and especially the doctor to preform your surgery. I was very nervous but received encouragement and support before surgery and the next thing I know I was in recovery.

I am sorry but I didn't ask if you had surgery

If you don't mind travelling a little bit, give a look at Dr. Ara Keshisian in Glendale. He has been doing DS's (sleeve plus intestinal rerouting) for a good long time which means he has done more sleeves than most any other bariatric surgeons, and one of the handful capable of doing the very complex RNY to DS revision (not that you need one, but good to have an overqualified surgeon than an underqualified!) He is the guy I would go to if I were in the market for a sleeve (or other revsion) in So Cal.

I had mine done by Dr. Peter Fedorka out of kaiser in Redlands but the surgery was done by him and his staff at St. Bernadine in SB. I was treated very well by all staff and the after care is just as good. I had it done on May 16th.

I am currently on my 6th week Option class with Kaiser out in Fontana. I am glad to hear the good experience at St. Bernadine's Medical Center.

I should be celebrating that I finally recieved the telephone call to schedule my mental health appt. Im kind of bummed that I have waited 4 weeks after my class to get this appt to find out my appt is late Sept. This means I may have to wait 4 weeks to meet with surgeon and another 4 weeks to have the surgery lol.... Im just excited the anticipation has really got to me.

How did you get your surgeon appointment so fast?!! Lol. I'm out of Fontana too. Had my final appointment on 10/12 and now I'm still waiting for a call to set up a surgeon appt. Ugh I swear this waiting process is a Bitch! from the looks of it if your surgery is scheduled for the end of Nov mine probably won't be till Dec. FML

Im nor sure how or why. The wait is frustrating. Just be by your phone to answer that call, beacuse they have so many patients they will just move down their list. Which can extend your wait time. I can't believe I started this journey back in April and finally the day is more of a reality. You'll get that call sooner than you know it.;)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
