L.A. Bariatrics in CA?



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Roxanne and I live in Los Angeles CA. This is my first time posting. Just wondering if anyone is from the area and being treated by L.A. Bariatrics? I've already completed my visit with the Nut and Psych eval. They seem very helpful at the office but just wondering if anyone else has had an experience with them. Thanks

I have Dr. Korman!

Loved him!!!

The office staff is amazing. Checked into other places in the LA area and Irvine... chose them simply because they didn't pressure me into using their facility. They are genuine people with the desire to want to help.

I was sleeved on Oct. 22

I have really enjoyed being apart of the team with Dr. Korman's office.

I struggle everyday with eating and getting my Water in.

I eat half an egg when I wake up in the morning with my Vitamins.

And I drink Protein Shakes and Unjury through out the day... I have dinner with the family and even then I am force feeding myself.

Some days I am in the mood for a cheese stick. However that is not very often.

I am going to be 8 weeks out (so im no expert here) on Monday and I still have a few small pains in my large incision.

I also had hernia repair and the healing from that has been a b***h!!! The swelling in my throat finally feels like it is going down. Still struggle some days....

I am starting to have more good days then bad ones.

sleeping has been a challenge I have to sleep on my right side. If I sleep on my left I get crazy stomach hunger, as soon as I roll over the feeling goes away in a matter of min!

OH my biggest complaint is I am always freakin cold! I mean 90 year old grandma cold!!

Have you heard about insurance yet?

As soon as I was approved I had my surgery 2 weeks later.

Keep me posted!

I hope my approval moves as quickly as yours. I'll keep you posted. But you take care and feel better. One day at a time.....keep your eye on the big prize : )

      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.
