Any Dr. Suh (Kaiser) Patients, Got A Question.



Recommended Posts

I have my consult with Dr. Suh on Aug 16th. I am trying to expedite my process, due to my hubbys schedule. So my question is who did you go through for psych eval? The person his office referred me to does not have an appt until the 27th of August. I tried calling preventative medicine case mgr, they NEVER call back. I am kind of walking blind. Any assistance, or suggestions?

I'm with Kaiser and I'm having surgery on Aug 6th with Dr suh......I had my psych eval done thru Kaiser mental health in riverside. Dr suh said it did not matter if u go thru his mft or Kaiser. I know for sure Kaiser has a sooner appt. U just have to get copies of your evaluation to give to Dr suhs office. Mental records are the only records he do not have access to with Kaiser. If u look under a post I started titled damn damn damn...the number for the mental health department is listed there. Good luck!

I have doctor Suh and I used Heaston too. She took my insurance so I only had to pay my copay otherwise she charges $100.

Now I'm just waiting on my sonogram appointment. Trying to get all the appointments and tests within a 30 day period has been very difficult but I'm almost there.

I would call the doctor everyday to see if they have cancellations so you can get in sooner.

In Bakersfield, we have a therapist that does our psyc evaluations during options. They set us up an appt and don't charge us our copay. We get to talk with her for free, and she is wonderful.

      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.
