Is there anyone in California who had or will have their surgery @ St. Bernardines Hospital in San Bernardino?



Recommended Posts

Im having my surgery on Aug 16th @ St Bernardines & I just wanted to know how I would be cared for both before & after my surgery? Especially since my DPA card stresses No Blood transfusions!

Hello jdsrra! My Dr is Fedorka with Fontana Kaiser! Who was yours?
I also posted this question on the san bernardino bariactric Facebook page & got a lot of real nice positive feedback.
So Im not to nervious just anxious to continue with my weight loss journey!
What's also encouraging is that after 40 some years my Hubby called me by the nick name he gave me when we first started dating!![emoji1]
I think he is just as excited as I am![emoji38]

I had dr Chin. He's really good at what he does but not at all personable. I've heard alot of positive about Fedorka!

Hi, I also have kaiser, and thought I will have my procedure done at St Bernardine, but during the options class they told us that they will start doing surgeries in Kaiser Ontario starting September, I will have my RNY done in Ontario on Sept 26th, my Surgeon is also Dr Chin, (glad to hear that he's really not that personable, I thought he doesnt like me - my pre op check up with him was kinda blah, I was his 2nd patient and was so excited, trying to make jokes, but he wasn't buying it, lol. Oh well, its nice to have found you guys here in the forum. Have a nice day you guys :)

Hello Sis! How did your surgery go?
I had my surgery 2 months ago now & doing ok with my eating & weight loss! St Bernardino Hospital was great. The nurses were very nice & attentive! They called me there star patient, I guess because I started my walking 5 hrs after my surgery. I did cause I thought it would help me go home sooner but Im glad I stayed the full 24 hrs. My starting weight was 210! Now Im down to 191, yeeeh!!!
However My weight loss sometimes yo-yo but I think it has to do with constipation! Ive increased my veggie intake & use Benefiber along with a good probiotic. So far, so good!

      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.
