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!

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
