I'm working through my weightloss classes now at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles - anyone have their WLS at Cedars? Curious to hear if so what your experience was like.

I had my surgery at Cedars in May, 2014. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. It's a great program!

Awesome! I’ve been trying to get scheduled all week for whatever the next hoop is I need to jump through with no luck. Kaiser is Slow. Are you going through insurance?

I had my surgery at Kaiser West LA on June 22. Took my Options classes at Panorama City. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi. I’m just starting the process with Kaiser at the sunset office. I did all my blood work last week and am waiting to be scheduled for classes. At what point in the process did you know if Kaiser would cover it? My BMI was almost 41 when I went to my first appointment. I have no idea what’s supposed to happen next and I’ve been having a lot of trouble trying to schedule classes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
