SF Bay Area? (California)

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!

I’m struggling so hard. I have no energy, no desire to consume anything. I feel like my liquids are just sitting in my chest. I nearly cried at how horrible I felt taking a shower this afternoon, even my cat was freaked out. (Haha he even waited to ask for his dinner)


Hi, all. Happy New Year!

I'm a little unhappy right now.

I'm, 5'6.75", was 220 lbs. So I'm a low BMI with masjid comorbidities.

We'll, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. Finally feeling better but when weighed yesterday, I was down 15 lbs!

I have orientation on Tuesday at Kaiser So. San Francisco and am afraid of getting weighed and being rejected for the surgery.

Just need some support right now. I'm freaking out.

Thanks in advance.

I went through a different program but didn’t get weighed at orientation.

Perhaps the co-morbidities will be enough? Or can you postpone?


I watched a YouTube video of a woman just back from her orientation at Kaiser Sacramento I think and she said they were weighed.

My orientation is Tuesday so I'm going to call the center tomorrow and tell them the situation and ask if they weigh.

I'm not freaking out anymore. It is what it is. And if I have to be referred again, so be it.

Thank you for replying. I really, really appreciate it.

How goes it, Candy?

Hello! I live in the Bay Area and had my surgery on December 14 at Roseville SUTTER. I am currently experiencing a stall in my weight loss and am getting a bit discouraged! Anyone else experience a stall this early post op? (I’m 2 months post op)

:-) Just followed you! Maybe I should consider an Insta for just this journey. I'm pretty private about it so haven't posted anything but it might be nice to have a photo record.
