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

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
