It is late June right now, My name is Aimee... I started this journey about a year ago. I am with Kaiser in CA. I went to ALL my appts. I met with the nutritionist a few times. I attend a support group for Bariatrics at the Kaiser hospital. I have gotten the eating down. I have been exercising faithfully and lost the 24 pounds I was required to. It took me a while but I did it, I worked through my bone spur injury but I am back on track. I currently got the ok to have surgery and I am waiting a call from the surgery coordinator. It has been a long road and tough to make all the appts and demands, but I was determined and did it. I plan on late August for surgery. I am excited and ready.

Congrats on your weight loss and sticking out through the process. I have been going to my 6 months of nutritionist appoitments that are required for insurance. It's been a long journey for me as well. It tough to stay positive after so long and seems like you've stuck it out with grace. I'm happy you are awaiting your sergery date and I wish you the best!

Hi, Aimee,

I know that insurance requires a lot from someone before they pay out for the surgery. I am happy to hear that you have made it through it all. My niece just did the same thing :)

I am self pay, so I am going to Mexico to have my surgery on Aug.2. I am ready and looking forward to the day. Not so much the surgery and pain but for the day to get here so I can start new with my life.

I am excited for you :)

Best of luck with your surgery and weight loss!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
