SIMI VALLEY SLEEVERS UNITE! (Ventura County, CA)



Recommended Posts

Anyone in Simi Valley or the surrounding areas who has gone through the sleeve or is planning to? Sound off!

I'm Mallory, by the way, and I am going through the Options Program with Kaiser Permanente - Woodland Hills (class starts 10/1/2015! I'm so excited), then my Surgery will take place in West L.A. I am looking to loose about 130 lbs.

Hi Mallory,

I'm in the SFV, though my SF doc has a support group in Ventura that my wife and I frequently attend (she went through this ten years ago.) You have quite a ride in front of you!

btw i did the Options program at Woodland Hills Kaiser a few years ago and it was great, really educational. Unfortunately i didnt end up getting the surgery back then but a few years later im less than 36 hours away from it,i changed my insurance to PPO so im not doing it at kaiser but youll do great, youll learn alot during the options program...the food and exercise logs really help open your eyes about what we put in our bodies....best of luck on your journey!!!

      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.

      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.
