Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Hmmm LOL

I guess everyone has their opinions based on their experience. I have a friend getting RNY from Fisher and we debate it all the time,but I've resolved with the fact that she's happy with her decision and I am/gonna be happy with mine.

Plus even if I only loose 50 lbs total I'll be happy with changing my eating habits and getting healthy. and I need that constant accountability so I stay on track.

yea, what are you going to do? suck it up and pinch pennies. Supposedly they are doing the furlough so they don't have to lay anybody off. Luckily we have a 4 person unit and what we do is a national requirement.

Tina im on Kaisers Steps program, put it in the back of your head to remember it. It works if anything happens with your insurance.. I pay 100 for my kaiser insurance, im on step number 2. Last year i was on step number 1 and paid 47. For audrey i pay 5.00 she is on the childrens plan. Which is awesome we pay nothin. And that is up till they are 18.

So make ur memory notes;)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
