Which part of No California? I had my surgery at the So Sacramento hospital. I loved the program (it is new/surgeries just started in Feb) and was very pleased w my surgeon Dr. Grinberg. I go to a support group here full of patients from Richmond who swear by Dr. Baggs.

Wish you success in whatever you choose!

Hi :) Anyone have any advise with trying to get your surgery approved through Kaiser? I'm switching to them as of January 1st and want to do the best I can to make sure I can get approved. I'll be meeting with my primary and trying to convince him/her to recommend me for surgery all in the same day so any advise would be much appreciated :)

      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.
