I'm glad you liked him. He did my lapband on 07 and never believed me when I told him it slipped 3 days later. He removed my gall bladder a few months ago and FINALLY confirmed that it had slipped.

And that's why I did not have lapband....so afraid of that happening! What do you do? Get the sleeve or fix band?

I'm getting revision on August 8 with Dr. Suh in Murrieta. Hopefully he can do it in one surgery.

Hi all;

Just a reminder that there is a So Cal Sleevers group (see top tab) for you to join. Great place to talk to other local VSG patients in various stages of sleeve journey. Good luck to you all and remember we are here to cheerlead you onto victory. Hope to hear about your success!

Here in Mo Valley. Surgery tomorrow with Dr Fadorka. I' ve been a nurse for more years than I like to admit to but am having trouble switching to patient. Don't want to be the patient who brings her whole house but neither do I want to forget whats important. Everything at home seems to be set except taking the.dogs to the sitters,which means I still have 6 dogs to bath and groom. 4 are up.fot adoption. Any takers?

So it looks like the last post on this thread was in 2012, but I thought I would try to restart this group because I'm from this area. I'm having my sleeve done in August at St. Bernadine's in San Bernardino with Dr. Fedorka as my surgeon. I'm going through Kaiser. Anyone else currently from this area going to get sleeved soon?

In from San Bernardino County with a surgery date of July 17, 2017 in Riverside county with Dr. Fedorka. I am excited to see other people from So.Cal. here. Is there another meeting area because I do not see much activity here? I am excited to see all the success stories and even some pitfalls that I can learn from. :D

      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.
