This is a long shot. Anyone go to Dr.Cirangle's monthly support groups? I'm thinking of going to the Walnut Creek ones...I know he does others in San Jose and San Francisco but WC is closest to me.

Mine didn't fall off... It needed a little help. It didn't hurt and my incisions were healed underneath. Feels so much better. -

Selfpay Ekg?
Carrie's Journey replied to PiggyPantsPaige's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was self-pay and right when I checked into the hospital, they did the EKG. It was included in my total fees to my surgeon. It seriously took 2 minutes. -
Any Bay Area California Sleevers?
Carrie's Journey replied to Cholula's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yeah I wasn't happy about their long process either. My husband and I just figured out a way to finance the surgery and went for it. I swear my surgery happened like, 3 weeks after my first phone call to them. But I was able to get squeezed in to a cancellation spot. I think it was all meant to happen like this. -

What Is Your Goal Weight ?!
Carrie's Journey replied to jasmineb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did your dr set a goal for you? I'm also 31 and 5'5" and my dr said I should be able to get to 120! That seems super skinny to me so I told him 130-140. Ideally, 140 would be my max for a healthy BMI, I think. But I don't remember ever being less than 165 so anything less would be a dream. -

That's a great idea! I just read about that diet too. Hmmm. I did have a hiatal hernia so I might add that I had that repaired too. Now I'm feeling a littl less anxious. -
Any Low Bmi's Out There?
Carrie's Journey replied to lisa1977's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 32 and had high blood pressure. No insurance would cover me so I was self-pay with an amazing surgeon. I wish my insurance paid but this is definitely money well spent. 10 days out and my blood pressure is already normal again... -
Lookin For A Buddy!
Carrie's Journey replied to Carrie's Journey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sure! One of the pioneers: Dr Cirangle in San Francisco. It was 17,500 which is one the high side but I'm glad I went with him still. He includes 2 years of follow up visits but usually more like 5. And he leads the support groups that I'm planning to attend. -

I'm 5'5" and my doctor's goal is 120 but I'm thinking 130-140. Why do they go so low? -
