I had a model surgery. No pain meds after the 3rd day (and that was just a dose of vicoden to make the 3 hour drive easier). No gas issues or problems sleeping. Very little nausea and not one episode of vomiting.

I can tolerate most foods. The only real negative reaction was to pickles. The juice from one bite (I spit it out) caused nausea for hours.

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning at Kaiser west LA. Excited but a little nervous. I haven't found too many peeps on here going through Kaiser. I want to start a discussion board but not sure how to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got the gastric by pass at Kaiser West LA. My doctor was Dr. CASILLAS. He was awesome.

Have you submitted your paperwork yet? I hope you get your date soon!

I'm still debating insurance versus self-pay. If insurance requires 6 months of a pre-op diet, I think I'll self-pay, in which case it could get scheduled pretty quickly. If the insurance hoops are reasonable, then it would take longer. No paperwork submitted yet. I meet with the psychologist next week and find out what other pre-op tests the doctor requires.

What insurance do you have? I have Anthem and had to do the 6 months of visits. Just turned in my paperwork last week. I meet with my surgeon again on the 24th to get clearance.

I'm in Irvine too! How exciting yours is next week. Where are you having your surgery?

[giraffesmom 16]

Super excited and nervous of the unknown. Pre-op diet hasn't been to bad Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and 1 meal of lean Protein w/veggies. I'm getting ready right now to go in for pre-op testing and then consultation with my surgeons nurse, They said to prepare for 3hr meeting. So many different emotions going through me right now but overall I'm excited and ready.
