How was ur surgery ? How long was ur liquid diet pre op? I have him as well, don't have surgery date yet tho. How long after meeting him was ur scheduled surgery?

[mrs sandy r 152]

Surgery went great, I had to do 2 wks liquid diet pre op, which sucks. But worth it . After my first visit with him it took 6 months to have surgery, because of my insurance . They required a 6 month weight loss first with my primary care dr & a full medical evaluation with specialist .

And how is ur success going?

[mrs sandy r 152]

Going good. A little slow, but slow is better than nothing at all, like before. I was sleeved 9/26/12, I've lost 60 lbs so far. I have 26 lbs to lose to reach my goal, so I'm almost there. All the waiting is worth it, good luck on your journey

My consult is with Irani on the 7th this week. I have already received my referral so now wondering how soon my surgery will be scheduled

When did you complete the kaiser program kndi? I heard it 10-14 days

[kndi86 20]

I started the Kaiser program Oct. 2nd and last class was Dec. 18th. It's a 12 week program. It seemed like it was going to be forever but actually went by fast. I can't wait to go Thursday to see when I get my surgery. So excited!!!!!

[sweetmomma05 33]

Lol you and I were in the same class!! Ill send ya an email later

[kndi86 20]

Too funny!!! I was the biggest loser. How I did it, i don't know. Get in touch with me. Let me know who your doc is.

[kndi86 20]

If I would read all the posts I would see you have Irani as well! LOL!

[sweetmomma05 33]

Lol dr Garcia is exactly 2 weeks... Irani I hear varies depending on your bmi.

[kndi86 20]

Really.... Now I'm really curious. I almost had him do the lap band December 2011...had my surgery date and everything but insurance problems. I'm glad now and see it was a blessing. I went back to Kaiser and learned so much more.

After finishing the Kaiser classes it took me two weeks to get an appointment and 2 weeks for a surgery date, although I decided to postpone for a few months. One of the guys in my class was sleeved 2 weeks after finishing our class. We both have Naik. All 3 of them want you to do a 2 week liquid diet to lose 10 pounds of belly fat but I hear Irani is the most lenient

Outrigger... Are u a nurse at kaiser ?
