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!

Hi Meldyer, nice to see another person in Sac here! 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?

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.

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! :)

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!

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.

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
