I don't know anything about Dr. Patching except for what I've read on the net. I was just banded June 16th in Sac by Dr. Aaryan Koura, through Methodist Hospital. I have been totally happy with him and his staff. If you can check him out. His web site is slimlifecenter.com. Wish I could give you more info about Dr. Patching, you might also want to try looking at a local group site I go to at Sacramento_Valley_Bandsters : Sacramento Valley Bandsters I have found alot of good local help there.

Good Luck with your band journey. Leah

You know what's funny? My mom is in Methodist hospital (leaving today, Thank God) and I noticed all those Biractric Drs. on the board everytime I pasted by the bullentin board on the way to my mom's room. I'm going tomorrow to my 1st consult in Richmond. I live in Galt. How convienent that would have been up the street versus the bay area.

I would try to get it changed to the Sacramento area. That would make it a lot easier on you. What a journey this has been so far. Hopefully I will be banded by September. Maggie:rolleyes2:

Unfortunately, I have Kaiser. That would be so much easier. In fact, I did a mapquest and found Richmond is 75miles from home! Can you imagine driving that far for these appointments? I'm not complaining tho, I just want to get this consultation over with. I would love to even imagine I have an end in sight. Sept would be ideal.

Hey Klbs--I drive from Dixon to Sacramento to South 99 to Methodist to see Dr. Koura it's not 75 miles. But go where you have to, to get the surgery you want. If you don't know Dixon is 8 or 9 miles west of Davis. But I'll tell you it's been worth every mile. Take Care and Good Luck. Leah

I would recommend him to anyone. :w00t:

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
