I was sleeved by Dr. Kim at Kaiser West Los Angeles...he did a fabulous job. I'm sure Dr. Casillas is great, too.

Hi! No, no drain. I was glad about that! If you have any other questions in the future, I'd be happy to answer them. My email is darmarram@yahoo.com. :)

My friend had Dr. Casillas as her surgeon and she said he was excellent.

I had surgery with Dr. Casillas on 12/30/11. I had no problems with my surgery. I think he's a great surgeon. :)

It all depends on what Kaiser coverage you have.

I was sleeved by Dr. Casillas at west la kaiser on June 12th, 2012. He was great. He is very easy to approach with any questions or concerns that you might have. He always has your best interest at heart. When I started the kaiser option program my weight was 264, at surgery it was 243. Today I am 207. I am very excited about my new way of life. There was little to no pain for me after surgery. There was no drains. I did have a $300 deductible for the surgery and hospital stay. All my nurses were very attentive to my needs if there was any ( more my husbands accommodations. Lol!) I am very happy with the choice that I made going with Dr. Casillas.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
