Fresno But Not Kaiser



Recommended Posts

I am a Fresnonian but I did not have my surgery at Kaiser. My sister had bypass with Kaiser three years ago. I went through Advanced Bariatric Centers with Dr. Felix. My surgery was at Clovis Community. Would love to share experiences.

Hello BoBann,

My sister had gastric bypass by Dr. Felix 13 years ago. She is doing good. Lost 175 ibs( was 375), had a baby 2 years after surgery and still kept her weight down. She was going thru a rough period and had a problem with beer for the last couple years so now her weight is up to 215. She's realized her problem and has quit drink now for the last 3 weeks. She's back on track and should start dropping her weight again. My sister does not have insurance and can not see a Dr. regularly so she has lactose intolerence, low blood sugar, Iron defencincey, malabsorbtion issues. But I have her on rack with her Vitamins and Protein intake now so she should be doing better soon.

How are you doing?

Odd, my sister is struggling too for all the same reasons. I am doing well. Just wear out very easily but that is normal and dr said it should last another month. More importantly how are you doing? I was not in the mood to read and post right after surgery. How are you feeling?

I am doing pretty good. Still having some gas pains and pain from incisions. I get tired very easly also. Took a nap today, lol. I am able to get a Protein Shake and almost 4 bottles of Water down as of today. I am having unexplained headaches. I thought it was the liquid vicodin so I quit taking it as of yesterday morning and am still getting the headaches just not as severe. I am now using childrens chewable tylenol, they only had grape and I hate grape, but it helps. LOL.

Thanks for asking. :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
