@audaciousmarie- How long after you get within 5 lbs of your goal weight do you schedule the psych eval and surgery? I finally hit that number and made the call to Kaiser. Just waiting to hear back.

@Phoenix40...I called the Bariatric weight tracking line to report that I was within 5 pounds of the goal weight. The medical assistant called me the next day and gave me a psych appointment that was about two weeks later.

Thank you! It was a struggle after my vacation in October and then the holidays. I want my surgery to happen no later the February 15th and I was ready to do whatever it took to get there.

@@audaciousmarie Thank you! I could not believe the number on the scale. My scale battery died Tuesday so I was going in blind and completely paranoid. I'm glad it all worked out. You got this! I hope you are right with me.

Hey everyone! I am going through Fremont too. My surgeon is Dr. Dutta. I am working on losing my pre-surgery weight now. Fingers crossed I get my surgery in the beginning of March.

Have any of you guys been to the Pleasanton support group? I'm going next Tuesday and am kinda nervous about it.

Hi @bekah7482...I have heard nothing but great things about dr. dutta. I don't think you should be nervous about the support group. The support groups are always positive and they are filled with very knowledgeable, personable and friendly people. Although, I highly recommend that you attend the support group at Kaiser Fremont that meets on various Fridays. Good luck to you and please keep us posted!

I had my psych eval yesterday! It went well and was not bad at all. Now just waiting to hear back from the surgeon! Now the fear is starting to set in. I've never had any type of surgery and I am nervous about afterwards but I am so ready to do this!

I really liked it! I went to one session and will be going to another session next Tuesday (I had to miss the last one because of work). I am also thinking about stopping by a fremont session too. My bf loves in fremont and has been very involved in this process and since he can't make it to pleasanton, we were going to go to fremont so he can be part of a session and have a chance to ask any questions he might have.

@pheonix40 - how long did it take them to schedule your psych eval? I seem to remember you hit your weight a while ago. I am really hoping for a March surgery. I am 2lbs away from psych weight and 7 from goal.

Wow, your psychologist gave you a goal weight? The only goal weight I had was from my Surgeon. I'm with Fresno Ksiser.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
