Kaiser Fontana Friends



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m curious if I can find anyone from my options class to see how things are going.

I started in November, and the class ended in Feb (Monday nights 6pm).

Even if you’re not from my class, I’d love to connect with other kaiser patients. I have my appt with Dr. Chin on Friday (4/20/18)

I have Kaiser Southern Cal in Bakersfield and my surgery date is May 16th, I started Options classes on December 12th, we had an extra two weeks that didn't count because of the holidays but I finished on March 13th, got my referral to the surgeon on March 16th, met the surgeon on April 5th and he scheduled my surgery for May. I think it went by pretty fast actually, I'm just waiting to go in now. Good Luck!

Awesome! I think Bakersfield has more patients at a time than Fontana, our classes had around 30 people in them and I’ve heard Bakersfield has 75-100! It sounds like it’s all going smoothly for you, I’m glad!

Our class had about 35 men and women, I was surprised at the amount of members. Honestly I was embarrassed to join, I know that sounds awful but at my age I always felt I should have done this earlier because I am overweight because of what I have done to myself, there's no one else to blame. I had walked in to the class over a year ago and looked around and left. Anyway I am glad I am on my way now and I cant believe my surgery is three weeks away :D

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
