Hi all,

I'm starting the options class Sept 19th at woodland hills Kaiser. I'm so excited and grateful for this opportunity. Has anyone done it at Kaiser Woodland Hills and if anyone can recommend a great surgeon in West LA and tell me about their experience I'd truly be grateful.

Thx so much- want2besleeved

So I just received notice from kaiser that my referral for surgery has been created and I will be with Dr Suh. His office will contact me to schedule the consultation!

Thanks. I will. No his office is in corona and the hospital is in murrieta.

That is fantastic news! I am so happy for you! <br> He's in Fontana right? Let me know when your consultation is.

Do you know which Hosp in Murrieta? A lady in my options class said last night she was told in the information session that San Diego is now an option. I hope I don't end up there, to far away.

Not sure yet. Tonight I went to a support group at loma linda medical center in murrieta. My mother had Dr Suh for her surgery 3 yrs ago and she was at the inland valley medical center in murrieta.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
