OK....so I hit a bump in the road...I'm still in the hospital. I had a pin hole leak...n had to go back in surgery Wednesday.... the day I should've went home. I am feeling a lot better n should be home by Sunday. At least it was found before I went home....out of the thousands of surgeries he has performed.. I am his first leak.

Thank u.. I hope that goes as smooth as the surgery did!

I am sleeved!!! N was nervous for nothing. No complications... no nothing!! I should go home tomorrow ....good luck to everyone being sleeved today!! God bless

Never mind...u already have!!! Lol....didn't see the name...just read the post....lol

Ok...maybe that is a little much, but im freaking disappointed. I got approved by Kaiser for surgery....happy about that....but I am referred to Dr David Suh...n the soonest consult date is July 19th...I was really hoping to have had surgery by this day....Oh well... I guess by expecting this, is the reason I am disappointed with July 19th, guess that means surgery will be mid august ...... Damn damn damn!!..... Ok I feel better.... but on the flip side from start to surgery will be about 6 months exactly...so I can't complain....but I will say......Damn Damn Damn...ok im done!! Lol

Ok I started my jorney with Kaiser for the 2nd time ( the first time they required options classes for 24 weeks) In Feb. I did not wait for my PCP to submit the refferal, I called the Health Ed and preventive medicine dept in Riverside and got scheduled for the orientation. The orientatation was on Feb 2nd. I recieved a call that following Tuesday asking If I can start the classes on Feb 10th ( I think it was that soon because I choose the morning for classes) . So I started my first Option class on Feb 10th, and finished on April 27th. During the classes they do tell you who you will be having surgery with, but do not go over the surgeons requirements. So for Riverside Kaiser they use Dr. David Suh. Dr Suh requires that you attend his bariatric seminar, pre op seminar, psych eval, and one support group. I found out this information by going to his website, so I attended the seminar, and I asked Dr Suh, can kaiser do the psych evaluation, and he said Yes. So I did my psych evaluation through Kaiser, just do get it out of the way. When the evaluation is done at Kaiser, you have to sign a Release of Authorzation form( request this at the time of visit) About the 5th class we were advised to get our physicals, if we had not had them in the past 6 months, before the 6 class I recieved a letter from Dr Provonsha stating that he submitted orders for my lab work ups, ekg, stool test, and chest xray ( since I had my gallbladder removed i did not have to do a ultrasound). Since all classes and orders have been completed, now l am able to schedule a Medical Interview Appointment. The letter from Dr Provonsha's office stated that once everything was completed to wait 2 weeks then make a appointment with Dr Provonsha. Since I knew all my test came back and was ready for review, I called as soon as my last class was over. I was told the sooniest avail appt with Dr Provonsha was June 19th!! The person I spoke with, not once said I can schedule my interview with another dr. smdh... I am saying this to say ask questions, if i would havd settled for this answer, then i would be waiting for June 19th to complete my next step. My appointment is on May 2nd, and hopefully my refferal gets put in. Dr suh says that surgery is being scheduled almost a month from consultation. I am hoping that I can have my surgery Mid June, If not July is good too!!! This process so far with Kaiser has been a quick one, people that i know that has had thier sleeve done with Kaiser this year, from start to finish it is about 5 months!!!
