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

9 days from surgery. Pre-op appointments on Tuesday. *nerves jangling a bit*

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

Pretty good! Thanks for checking in. It hesitate to say that in case I jinx it. Lol. But I was up and about quite a bit today. I managed to drink a protein shake over the course of the day, eat my vitamins and calcium, drink some water, and even a little nibble of sf pudding.

I’ve felt a little shoulder pain from the gas, though it was a lot worse with my gall bladder removal. I even took a shower which was heavenly. My incisions are a bit tender and I have to watch how I move or lay but no complaints, easily tolerable.

My kitty has been ever watchful. :-)
