@Bree1984

I'm doing pretty good. Took me about 3 weeks to get there. Random fatigue was an issue but doc said that is normal. I'm going really slow introducing new foods. Not of fan of the pain that comes with eating too fast, or not chewed up, or w/e reason I have an episode. I can see myself drinking Protein shakes for a long, long time.

Hi all! I am in San Jose and just started the process. I have much to learn and go through but am hopeful for the Kaiser program

Have you picked your surgeon? Do you even get a choice with Kaiser? If so, I recommend Dr Richard Nguyen at Lifetime Surgical. He is over at Good Samaritan and he is awesome. I had no pain or negative side effects. He is going my husband s surgery next week.

You get to choose Kaiser surgeons at Kaiser hospitals, so good sam won't work for me. I had my introductory seminar today. They gave me 5 hospitals to choose from, so I am unsure which one to go to cuz it seems everyone is different... I can choose between Fresno, Fremont, Richmond, South Sacramento, and South San Francisco. Anybody have any feedback on these? My PCP mentioned South San Francisco... Figured I should edit this to say I go to the Santa Clara Kaiser

I'm in central Cali. Santa Cruz area. I am worthing with a Dr out of Mt. View though through Sutter/PAMF. I have my second orientation this Thursday and Feb. 7 I am hoping to get paperwork submitted and a date set for my surgery. It is all nerve wracking but exciting too!

Richmond Kaiser was awesome start to finish- sleeved 1/9
