CNOEL3 117 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm about halfway through my appts for VSG surgery at Richmond Kaiser with Dr. Albert Im. He seems like a wonderful Surgeon. Im just curious if theres anyone else on here who is going through the process at the same location as me.

aqua24 35 Posted June 22, 2016 I had my psych this morning. He approved me to move forward. I have 10 more pounds to lose and then I can call the case manager. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNOEL3 117 Posted June 22, 2016 Thats awesome. I was a bit uneducated on the meal plan, and I was logging my food into myfitness pal, the psych told me not to cou t calories. But after my next appt, he said I should be good to schedule with the case manager, so we should have surgery around the same time.

aqua24 35 Posted June 22, 2016 That's great! I wasn't sure what to expect from his appt but I learned quite a bit. He has a great way of explaining things. He expects that I will have lost the 10 pounds within 3 weeks. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App I almost started at the Richmond Kaiser but I went with the Fremont location instead (its closer to my house). The Richmond program is excellent and you will do very well over there. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richmond is about an hr from where I live, but I heard nothing but great things about their program, so I went with them.
