Fremont Kaiser-Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Sorry if this thread has already been started, but I searched for hours and can't see the info that I need. I live in the Antioch Kaiser Area. My Dr. sent my referal for WLS to the Fremont Kaiser Bariatric department. I have an apointment for the orientation in 20 days, so I called them to ask why I was sent to them and not Richmond and they said it is becasue I am in their referal area.

While there is plenty of info on the Richmond Kaiser surgery caenter, I can not find any on the Fremont Kaiser. This concerns me as I have read just a few post on another site where others have said that while they do offer Lap Band, the surgens tend to lean twards RYN and push their patients to do so. When I was talking to the receptionist at the Fremont center, she did say that they do less LB's and that it is mostly based on what the surgun recomends.

While I know that I should take what the surgen has to say into consideration, I feel that LB is the only way to go for me. I have been researching it for some time now, and I know what I need.

So what I need to know is there anyone on here that has succesfully been banded at the Fremont surgery center and what is your story? Thank you all for your help!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
