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!

Oh, yes. I think my kitties are going to be happy to have me all to themselves while I recover. That won't be till sometime next year. My orientation is 1/9.

Glad to hear you're doing well. Will keep you in my prayers for an uneventful recovery.

Pet your kitty for me.

Tuesday was a little rough. Not because of pain but I felt horrible. I'm sure it's because I'm not getting my fluids and protein in. I'm working to make this better and it seems to be working. Water intake/regulation was something I struggled with pre-op too.

Otherwise, all is good. and on the bright side it seems to have helped quell some of the head hunger/cravings.

I'm also trying some vitamin water zero to see if it helps with some little cramps I'm getting in my calves. I'm assuming that's a combo of low potassium and low water. I'm not completely dehydrated as I've been monitoring my urine output.

Thanks for checking in!

Welcome!

I'm going through Kaiser South San Francisco as well. I hasn't my orientation on January 9th.

Is long was it from your orientation to surgery? I know there's different meeting and consults to go through so it could be different timing depending on when you get through all that.

What support group are you going to?

Sorry for all the questions. Keep us informed of how you're doing. We really want to know!

I had my orientation in August and meet with my surgeon by the end of August and set a surgery goal weight. Once I met my goal weight the surgeon set up my surgery...which was Oct 18. So it took about 2 months.

I am
11 days from my surgery and it has gone really well. I was nervous as well and just tried to focus on my whys and the future and that helped me.. also prepping for after surgery helped a lot too... everyone’s journey is different and so breathe and try to relax as much as you can!! Good luck!!
