RICHMOND, CA KAISER ANYONE?

[aqua24 35]

There are some people that go to all of the groups. The one this Wednesday Dr Z is going to discuss the importance of sleep.

It's hard for me to go to Richmond groups so I will probably stick with VV.

Is your pain from the gas still or something else?

No, my gas pain is gone finally, but it's still around my large incision. Like I feel like I can't stand up straight or else it pulls. I was planning on going to the VV one today, but my husband suggested I stay home and try to take it easy. So I will definitely be at the next one though. I sneezed today, and I swear it felt like my large incision tore open. I know it didn't, but I stayed home just to be careful.

I am currently going through the process with Kaiser Richmond. I am almost to my surgery date

I'm going through the process there as well. Sept 7 is my last bariatric lifestyle class, then an appt with Dr. Z. Do you need to bring a food log to his and the surgeon and the case manager? Also I kind of got into it with the case manager lol I was extremely mad that these bariatric classes are only on wednesdays from 3-5. I have actual school during that time, in fact it's a pilates class. So basically I'm missing an intense workout for these classes but luckily my pilates teacher is very understanding

I had surgery on August 1st. I didn't have to attend lifestyle classes and never needed a food log but if you aren't losing weight as they think you should they will require one. Liz, the case manager, has a difficult personality but I found once I made her my "friend" she was much nicer and if she likes you everything will go better. Honestly, I just told myself to do what I had to do get my surgery, after you have your surgery they can't take it away.

@@CNOEL3 I had my R+Y with Dr. Mostedi at Kaiser Richmond on July 13. Are you in the support group that meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening? I will see you there!

[kc13 31]

I can't really attend that support group because I have a math class at that time. So I'll have to find some day where I don't mind missing my difficult math to stay for group lol!

Hi everyone! I am going through KP Richmond and have my sleeve scheduled with Dr. Mostaedi on 10/5. I'm so looking forward to it, but I am also terrified now that it is getting so REAL. Good to see other people who have had Dr. Mostaedi - I couldn't find a lot of information about him online.
