I'll tell her. I explained how I came to my decision but I'll keep sharing info and keep pushing her to join bariatric pal and my Facebook bariatric support groups Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Yeah. If you kick it completely you're gonna drop your sugar big time. Cause its liquid it fucks us up faster and worse. Also arroz and tortillas no no. Bread, only wheat and minimize. Try like veggies with teriyaki chicken. Caldo de pollo, chicken with a little rice but more veggies. Try that for 3 months with a little walking. I can't walk too much but unos 10, 15 min walk couple times a week. You'll be under 7.0 . Just keep at it. My girl makes tamales, I just be praying to go to keep me strong lol Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon really convinced me that roux en y is the way for me due to my diabetes and GERD. He seems so sure it will give me the best results. Since I'm trusting him to slice me up, why wouldn't I trust his judgement in my particular case. My sister will be getting the sleeve cause she's more stubborn that me.

You can do it!!! I went through this is may. Just got it down to 7.0 in october. Surgery Date is January 3rd. A lot of Water. No soda no juice no milk. I changed to almost milk, less sugar and calories and more calcium. Also no bread limit your bread, cereal, rice , tortillas. The bread was the hardest specially pan dulce, damn that sweet tooth. But you can do it!!! Keep at it and don't lose faith!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App I am trying! It's so hard I love soda...and my pan con cafe! Lol. Being Spanish rice is in almost every meal. It is hard but if I can do this then I know I can go through with the surgery and the "mental hunger" part. Congrats! I hope u can get it down that low as well. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App You drinking regular soda? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I did too. I'm hoping for long term results. That's why I switched from sleeve to roux en y. One of many reasons for switching but sucks, I've gone down 45 lbs only to regain it :/ Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App 29 is young. Well you're 5 years younger than me. I consider you young Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Hahaha. I don't blame you. I just stubborn. I'm prepping myself mentally to be under a lot of pain and feel the worse case scenario. God willing I'll be expecting the worse but won't experience it. See this way even though it will be tough I'd already prepped myself for worse. You'll be fine amanda, you're a young woman; I have no doubt you'll bounce off this quicker than me. Keep us posted!

My plan says 1000 deductible. I'll find out on the 22nd when I go for my preop. A lot of plans in cali don't cover it. I got lucky my boss who's the project manager helped me transfer to a union site with better healthcare. She believes this surgery will help me and has been very supportive since I been wanting this Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Anyone experienced a drunk feeling from eating sugar post op? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

@@hectorlopez323 who is your surgeon? I'm also going to west LA for surgery and I have Dr. Um. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Dr. Zelada, I got my surgery date!! January 3rd, got a preop appt. On December 22nd. Super excited about the surgery. I'm gonna go with the rny. When are you getting yours with Dr. Um? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Lol. My wife's boss told her about a friend who has rny and ate pie and got drunk. I called bs but want to check with peeps. Surgery Date is January 3rd Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! I wish all Kaisers had the same process! Haha. My orientation isn't until next week on the 11th. Options classes start in September, but ours in So. Cal. are 12 weeks long. I don't know for sure but I think I might have to do a diet plan thru WW since I don't have any MSWL on record. I emailed the RN and she said they would be happy to answer any questions at the orientation lol, so I got no answers but it's okay cause I can wait a week. I wonder how fast you'll get your surgery date after the classes? Do you have to do a MSWL program? And do you have a required sleep study? JW Lol. I'm rambling, CONGRATS!Time will fly. 12 weeks go like nothing. You'll go over Vitamins, post op, Protein and meal planning. It was also very beneficial and kinda therapeutic. You'll do blood work, urine, stool, xray.. I had to do ekg too. It's so quick with Kaiser to knock em all down. Surgery is quick after but if you're diabetic you have to lower you sugar to a 7.0 or less. I took classes in panorama city, lost health care cause of Obama care and now I did them in antelope valley. I'm a drive 70 miles to the West Los Angeles Kaiser on Cadillac, nurses from both panorama and Lancaster told me it's the best just wanted to share Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone have surgery at Kaiser and have a SO or family member stay over night? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Ty. My wife is asking, I wanted her to go home and come back the next day but she's as stubborn as I am. I gotta go to Kaiser for my preop on December 22nd I'll ask mine like you did. Good luck and keep us posted on here Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

It was painful...I didn't want to eat and barely wanted to drink I was constipated for a whole week I kept calling the surgery flr telling them the problem they kept telling all kinds of things to buy (so be careful with pain meds because that is what going to cause your constipation) if you have a recliner sleep in it that will be your best friendI'd hate to do that. Would take me back when I was getting epidurals refrquently for bulging discs. My recliner was the only place I could sleep good. We'll that will add to my anticipated emotional roller coaster.
