RICHMOND, CA KAISER ANYONE?



Recommended Posts

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.

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'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!

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.

Hi everyone. Does anyone when they offer classes? I saw someone said that their classes are on Wed. Are all the classes on Wed? I have my orientation in Oct. and am trying to plan out my schedule.

My orientation was on a Thursday. I think I remember the dietician saying Orientations are on Thursdays

      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.
