I am in Vancouver too I haven't been able to go to any support groups yet, I've been thinking about going to a Salmon Creek one though.

I am meeting with Dr Leger on July 22nd.

I can't believe you are so close to your date!!! I'm so exited for you!! And bubbles in getting closer too!!! Hopefully I won't be too far behind you guys.

Hi there! I just got referred by my PCP(Salem Kaiser) today to get a consult with the Kaiser NW Bariatric Program. Can anyone who has, or currently is, going through the process share their experience? Any complications? Timeframe? Dr review?

I'm also in Salem. I went through Kaiser permanente. It took me a little less then a year to get through all my steps. But the steps depends on your needs. I had no prior Heath issues. I had Dr Leger as a surgeon this August 1st. He is awesome. He tells like it is. No sugar coating stuff. There are two other surgeons Dr. Kim and Dr.Bronson Bronson is super nice. I had no complications and I recovered pretty fast. There is a support group you can come to by calling and asking to be added to the Keizer station Bariatric Support group. You can come learn and listen, ask questions.

Thanks for the info! I will look into that support group! Do you know what time they meet? My work schedule is very strict so I'm worried about being able to make it to all the appointments and meetings...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
