Hi my doctor sent my referral to south sac on Aug 18. I still haven't heard anything from them. When I called them yesterday the secretary lady said it can take about 4 weeks to hear anything back from them. But everyone else I have talked to said it seemed to be like they got a call back within a day or two... Also anyone have any good or bad about south sac kaiser?

Deana 37. I have not. I did call kaiser south sac the other day and they did say that they received my referral but they told me it take 3-4 weeks to hear back from them. So I'm not to sure cause I know people who have heard back in just a couple days. Let me know if you hear back from them I will do the same... Where are you from. I'm from Manteca.

      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.
