Hahaha Maria, you are funny, by all means bring the appetite on! You are welcome to bring anything you'd like but no need to :thumbup:.

Riley, I'm glad that you're going to make it. I am too excited to have us all together. The only entertainment I have is food and music, so if anyone has any suggestions please bring it on. :thumbup:

If you have a Walmart near you.. it cheaper!! oh.. and I believe they keep it in the pet isle.

I'm frustrated because kaiser SSF just called to confirm an appt for this monday.. I asked if this was for the same thing that I'm going to today in Vallejo.. the advice person on the phone cannot tell so now i've been on hold for the past 10 minutes with kaiser SSF.. :( I talked to the advice briefly and she said that no other kaiser does this surgery but SSF.. I told her is her info updated? I know a group of ladies that had this done in Richmond... uggh.. now i'm gettin frustrated..:thumbup:

They probably did!! is your class soon? I did mine @ vallejo also, even tho I am in Concord- it was the soonest one I found...I seriously called everyone...Oakland, Walnut Creek (Shadelads and Normal), and Vallejo.....if I would have stuck with Walnut Creek I would JUST be doing the info class next week......I have already been there, Orientation, and on my diet within 2 months! :thumbup: be agressive like me! LOL

I doubt its Orientation because after the info class, you have to call your Dr, ask to send your referral over there, takes them about 24 hrs, then Richmond calls about 7 days later! I think it's all new...

well for those of you who wanna know how fast baggs is.. i heard back:

We see Hair loss in any of our bariatric patients with significant weight loss.

You certainly qualify. It is part of the body's response to stress.

The hair loss will slow down and eventually stop about 3 months after the weight loss slows down and stops.

This may take another few months but it will get better.

Dr. Baggs

I dont think he understands my hair loss started when i was pregnant... oh well ill try the main stuff.. and if i see it still happening hopefully my pcp will be off her maternity leave.

Why don't you call the advice nurse of your PCP? she may be able to get someone to refer you to dermatology. This is just me but if I had that much hair loss I would have them on speed dial. It could be something you are missing in your diet but dermatology could send you in the right direction.

      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.
