If anyone is from the San Diego or surrounding areas Pacific Bariatric is a phenomenal place to go for your surgery. I had Dr. Eugene Rumsey as my surgeon and so far he has been very kind and is very knowledgeable.

Hi there!

I didn't have a preop diet. Just the day before was an all liquid diet. The handbook and doctor said no smoking or drinking alcohol six weeks before surgery.

I know my friend had to do a fasting but she also needed to shrink down her liver and she went somewhere else.

Who is your doctor, if you don't mind me asking.

I don't have a doctor yet as I am still going through the Kaiser program. Once we jump through all their hoops, we get sent over to Pacific Bariatric

Hello to both of you! I am also in San Diego going thru the Kaiser program, I am wondering how long did you have to wait from your last class to surgery date??

I was just called with potential start dates for the classes and I am incredibly torn!! one date is a month sooner than the other but would make my days start VERY early. Decisions Decisions!!

Hi there!! Im currently in options so I will have to let you know once I finish classes on May 1st how long it takes. My sister did her options classes in Riverside and the classes were only three months, but when she started, they told her the whole process was a year long. It was about three months before she got scheduled and she actually really pushed for it since she is a teacher and needed to have surgery during summer break!! When I started, they told us it was a 9 month process. I've heard that people from Kaiser have had their surgery at Pacific Bariatric in as little as three weeks, but im sure it fully depends on whether you lose your 10% and how busy the schedule is over at Pacific Bariatric. Let me know if you have any more questions. When I was starting class, I took the very first one that I could get into just cause I had gone in the program previously and walked out. I know I want the surgery and feel very prepared for it, so I knew I just wanted to get the classes done ASAP!!! Best of luck to you!!

I took the one that starts April 3rd, I decied I can wake up at 445am for 6 months once a week if it means getting the classes done sooner.

Why do you have to get up so early?? They must have made an earlier class cause I take the 9AM on Thursdays in Clairmont. Where are you taking your classes?

I had two options of start dates April 3rd for a 4pm class or May 15 for a 7pm class. I wanted to start as soon as I can so I took the April 3rd class. But that means I have to leave work ealry, so that means I have to go in to work early So I will have to be at work by 0545 :-D (I am a contractor, and also own the company) So there is no paid time off or any thing like that, if I don't provide the services I don't get to bill. So going in early to make up the hours is a must.
