Hi all! I'm having my VSG surgery the first week of September 2017 at UCLA. I had my Pre-Op appointment and actually gained 3 lbs and my doctor asked me to do a liquid diet to shrink liver and lower my risk of complications or a difficult surgery. I would love to meet other sleevers in Los Angeles and have some local support, especially if you are on a similar timeline. I'm really worried I won't be able to stick to the liquid diet...it's giving me juice-fast flashbacks (I've done every diet there is). Please feel free to comment here or PM me!

I'm in LA! I was going to go with UCLA but they said they would verify my insurance and call me to schedule an appointment. I never heard back and then a month and a half later I get a voicemail from an automated system saying my appointment/consult was the next day! Totally turned me off to them. I went with Dr. Feiz in Beverly Hills.

I had my surgery 1 month and 2 days ago. I've lost 20 lbs since surgery. 7 lbs was from the day before surgery.

Feel free to message me with any questions you have or if you need some local support. I'm here!

Yeah, I had to follow up the first time too. I think they need better front office/back office staff. That's awesome! I'm a month and a half behind you. How are you doing so far? Any regrets?
