Has anyone had to move post surgery and switch doctors? I'm asking for a friend. She is 3 moo this post op and her husband is getting relocated for his job. She is basically being threatened that if she moves then she won't get her follow up care because other programs won't help her if she didn't get surgery with them. That doesn't seem right.

I got 86g today. Unflavored protein has been a savior. I drink 1 premier protein a day with 2 scoops of unflavored protein which makes that 50g. I also have 3 3oz "meals" a day and add a scoop of unflavored protein to those too. I have mostly been doing soups (cream of chicken yum) and some broth for my meals.

Thankfully I am sleeping through the night which keeps me pretty energized during the day. How is your water and Protein? I was surprised it wasn't as hard to reach my intake goals as I thought. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am doing great! Day 1 was tough but u have been great since. Spent one night in the hospital and haven't had to take pain meds since coming home. I have had no problem with water or protein. Getting a little stir crazy around the house but I don't want to push anything the first week. How are you? Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

MAY 1ST!!! woohoo so excited! Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm set myself another goal weight to hit before surgery. I was so focused on getting approved that my weight hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Gives me something to work on. I also know that there are still things I need to prepare for but I need to organize my thoughts and put a list together. My mind is all over the place thinking about surgery.

That's really depends on the person and how long they want to stay out for work and how physically demanding their job is. Some people went back as early as a couple of days. Most people take 2-3 weeks. And others take 4-6weeks. I plan to take 5 weeks. Not necessarily because I think I need it but that way I can spend a good amount of time focusing on me.

Right? Every hour I'm like "am I closer to surgery yet" lol Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah but the coordinator was on vacation and it was the Friday before Christmas (at the end of the day) so I kinda feel like they rushed through the whole thing with me so they could get off early. We will just have to see. I usually get there by 5-530 at the latest so you may still be there when I show up. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

What time is your appointment? They told me it was 3 hours long but I was only there for a little over an hour Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. I was able to get an appointment for next week. I'm happy I will be able to get one session in before surgery and will continue after surgery. I know what my issues are that cause me to eat, I just don't know how to fix them. I have always just ignored the issues and ate them away. Hoping therapy will help.

My stomach. I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease last year. Causes me to have pains in my midsection and I'm always nauseous. I told my coworkers those symptoms were because of a cyst in my midsection that needed to be surgically removed. A lot of people say "it's none of their business" but like when people ask I don't feel comfortable being like "I'm not telling you" I would rather lie.

If you are there i would love to meet you. I wasn't so sure about going to a support group at first but it's honestly been so helpful and I have met so many great people who are all going through what we are so you always have someone to talk to. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I will be at both meetings. It's a pretty big group with a lot of great people. I have learned so much and you can ask any questions you have there. The program itself is very doable and the time until surgery is highly dependant on how long it takes you to lose the weight. I just happen to catch the program at the wrong time when they were short handed. I'm glad to hear that they are staffed up and everything is moving along again. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm feeling relieved. I went through a bunch of setbacks with my program. they were short staffed so they kept pushing my expected surgery time out. I was supposed to have surgery in March. I don't think it's hit me that it's actually happening. I submitted my LOA yesterday and am waiting for them to send me the rest of that paperwork. I have my preop appointment on April 21st. I am excited to have it done though. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery is May 1st but I am working in setting up therapy now because I know I will need it for long term success Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

With Fremont Kaiser the only requirements are to hit your surgery goal weight and do a psych eval. The quicker you lose the weight the quicker you can get the surgery. Process is pretty straight forward. And they do use your highest recorded weight so you are 9lbs closer to your goal! Before you can scheduke your psych eval you wilm need to be within 5lbs of your goal weight, do a short super easy quiz and attend one support group meeting. The Fremont Support group is great. This month they will be meeting on the 14th and the 28th from 6pm-8pm. There are also other groups in other towns if you can't make the Fremont one.
