iamtaralynn 8 Posted March 18, 2016 I think the requirements that you have to go through are mostly dependent on your insurance requirements but I'm sure each surgeon has their own preferences too. Either way there's a lot of hoops to jump through....it makes getting your date that much sweeter. Maybe you can ask him to consider the RNY if you lose the 30 or 40 pounds, the nice side effect to that will be it brings your bmi down too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are the same height but my starting weight was about 50lbs more than yours. I saw on your ticker that you've lost 72lbs, congrats! How much did you have to lose before surgery and how much have you lost since? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much did you have to lose before surgery and how much have you lost since? I was told to lose between 40-50lbs before surgery and ended up losing 60 before surgery. As of a few days ago Inhave lost 16lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago and really notice it the most with the inches lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi Lisa, I had surgery on June 15 and am also in phase 3. I'm just finally starting to feel normal again after being readmitted to the hospital for dehydration and an infection. I'm not far from Orangevale in Citrus Heights but I go to the 24 Hour Fitness on Auburn and Van Maren although I haven't been back in since surgery and I have mainly been using the pool until I work up to the machines. I'm looking for someone too. You should update your profile to show your surgery date and info so it shows in the forums! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lokisdottir 0 Posted August 14, 2016 Hello! I had my R-n-Y TEN years ago this year (!!) at Kaiser South San Francisco. I've gained back most of my weight so my new provider (in Stockton) is helping me get back on track and recommended this website. I live in Midtown/ East Sacramento and was wondering if there are any support group meetings anywhere during the week? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only ones I know of are across from Methodist hospital in the South Sac/Elk Grove area but they are free and open to everyone. I need to make it over to one of those myself. Here's the 2016 schedule with the address. http://www.slimlifesolutions.com/pdf/seminar-information-location-2016.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chloewithac 0 Posted August 31, 2016 Hi, has anyone gone to Dr Eslami? I was just wondering about the 6 months weigh ins if my insurance doesn't require it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruin's Angel 6 Posted August 31, 2016 Hi, has anyone gone to Dr Eslami? I was just wondering about the 6 months weigh ins if my insurance doesn't require it. Hi Chloe, Dr. Eslami did my surgery. I think it's Dr. Eslami that requires weight loss before surgery not the insurance, I don't know about the 6 months worth of weigh ins though but it was something I had to do. It did include the weigh ins with the dietician I had to see before being able to be seen by him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
