Im interested in how thing have worked out for you since being banded:smile:. Waiting to here back from you, thanksLatrice

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I to am going to be banded at kaiser. And to be honest with you I think that they have a better Program than so that i have heard of. They want people to know how serious this is, and also to see how serious they are about losing weight. Everything that they have us go through is for or own good. Just the info alone is great, there are some people who have had the surgery and don't know half the info that kaiser gives out. I think that it is a great program, so just give it a little time and see how things go. Don't get me wrong I thought the same at first. Take Care Latrice

Thank you, thank you so much. I'm ok with your long windedness. And I think that i will take you up on the support, because at this point i need all the help/support that i can get. Thank You again Vicki Latrice

How easy was it for you to do the 1200 cal. diet. I am having a really hard time, and anything that you can share would be really helpful. Latrice

whiskypie, how much did you lose on the 1200 cal diet?

good morning, i was just wondering if the two of you could please share what your pre-op diet. i have 14.7 pounds to loss.

Just want to say hi, and congrats to the next step in your life. I will be having my surgery in Richmond hopefully late July or August. Good Luck to you. Latrice

Hello, hope everything is going well. You can also try a 1200 cal. a day. That is what my Dr. has me on, and the first week i lost 7 pounds. so you might want to try that. it will also help in getting you ready for you new eating habits after the surgery. Latrice

today i had my consult with the doctor. she told me that i just need to lose 15 additional pounds with the 7 that i have already lost. So i am hoping to have lost the 15 by the time i go in for the weight check on the 25 of june. I have my psych eval. on july 9. she said that if i have lost the 15 pounds by the 25 of june that i could meet with the case manager who will then set me up with a surgery date. I just pray to God that i can meet my goal weight by then. I pray that i have had my surgery by the end of August. I just want to say thank you to everyone on this site for all the info. good and bad. I read the message blogs almost daily. Latrice God Is able to do all things...:wink2:

thank you , for your reply. Kaiser Richmond has it's patients go on a 1200 cal. diet and i also try to work-out every night. So far so go. Thanks again for the words of encouragement.

Hi Kim, I was wondering if you could tell me what the process was for you since you had your surgery at Kaiser. I hope to have my surgery at Kaiser richmond sometime this year. I'm going to my new referral info class on May 16. So any info you can share will be helpful. Thank You Latrice

Thank you so much for the info. I have been looking online for weeks now trying to find out what the process is. Even thought I know it is different depending on where you are having it done and on your insurance. I am planning on having it done at Richmond Kaiser of California. So if anyone has info on Kaiser's process please let me know. Thank You. Latrice
