SF Bay Area? (California)



Recommended Posts

Hello all.

I live in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I haven't had surgery but am in the process. Just wondering if there are any other locals on here!

hi :) I am not in the bay area but I am in Northern California, El Dorado County and I am going through Kaiser's South Sacramento facility. How far along in the process are you? I am waiting for a phone appt. with my surgeon coming up this week.

Hi! Sorry, completely missed I had a reply.

I've done 4/6 nutritionist visits. Scheduled for surgery in December, assuming insurance approves!

I'm from Lodi and also using South Sac. I see my surgeon nov 30. I've lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks. Can't wait to find out how much weight I have to lose before my surgery is scheduled. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date

Hey there.

I live in San Quentin, CA. I'll be starting orientation at the South San Francisco Kaiser on January 9, 2018.

You'll be having your surgery in two days if I did my math right. Keep us posted in how it goes.

Best of luck to you.

April,

Good luck tomorrow. If you're anxious before your surgery, ask for an anti-anxiety pill (or injection). Just tell them you're anxious and if there's anything they can give you.

Where are you having your surgery?

Let us know how you're doing on the flip side when you're able.

Good luck tomorrow. Will keep you in my prayers.

UC Davis in Sacramento.
I started getting really depressed after doing bowel prep so hopefully we can work something out

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
