RICHMOND, CA KAISER ANYONE?

[CNOEL3 117]

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.

I am going through the Richmond Kaiser program with Dr. Mostaedi. He is very nice.

How far are you in your process? I have to go back in for a 2nd Psych appt. I had to stop drinking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Richmond is about an hr from where I live, but I heard nothing but great things about their program, so I went with them.

@@CNOEL3 let me know when you have your date scheduled. It would be nice to have someone to talk to who is going through it at the same time as I am.

And I am glad to hear so many people say Richmond had a great program...makes me feel less nervous.

I did not use Kaiser but I am in that area. I had my surgery last week at UCSF.

Best of luck with your program and journey.
