Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

This isnot diet or weight related but how do you get the tickers to show on your messages. Where do I have to add it at. -
When I went for my surgery, my doc checked for and repaired a hiatal hernia. I have not had one case of reflux since and before surgery I was taking pepcid all the time to help curb the heartburn and reflux.

Calcium Citrate - which tastes best?
Slimgranny replied to i1Linda's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I use the twinlab brand, citrus flavor. they don't taste bad and 1000 mg per tablet. -
I remember when I was going to Weight Watchers the leader used to say if you have a craving to go ahead and acknowledge it and eat something sweet while you can control yourself before it takes over. Dont' beat yourself up, life goes on.

Hey...another newbie here!
Slimgranny replied to Baldrick's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Jeff, I am 2 months out now and have lost 57 lbs, I don't regret one minute doing the surgery. I am especially glad I did the sleeve and not the lap band. To many problems associated with the band. I almost cried as I was reading your story. Please keep us updated with your progress.Cathy -
I did that recently also, with my daughters help. It was hard getting rid of favorite shirts. She made me try everything on and watched to be sure I wasn't cheating! When we got done, I had five shirts left that she said would probably fit for another week and then they would have to go. I too, found some clothes that fit that didn't before! This has been the best thing I have done! From size 18/20 to 14 and mediums instead of xl.

Hey Diva, I absolutely love my surgeon and my sleeve. I was going to go for the lap band at first and my Dr. told me about the sleeve and recommended it for me. I go to a support group at the point west kaiser and most of the people there are either band or rny, and the more I hear about their issues the happier I am that I chose to do the sleeve. The only issue I have is I have to drive to Richmond to check in- I had surgery in July and so far no food issues. In fact, no problems at all except for my sabotuer of a husband, tries to get me to eat stuff I used to like fast food and stuff. Gotta love em!

Another Newbie Sleeved on the 21/9

From one newbie to another hello and have a great journey -
Hi Slim! Nice to meet you.
I have had surgery but it is the Lap-Band. To be honest it really isn't all I thought it would be, not by a long shot.How did you like your Dr? I've actually been considering changing plans from Blue Shield to Kaiser to hopefully maybe get the sleeve at some point when my band needs to be removed. Which to be honest might not be too far on down the road.
Let me know what you think! Thanks so much for contacting me.
Talk soon!
