Need a favor--can someone fax me section 6 from the binder? I am missing that section and they want me to buy a whole new binder which seems silly.

If you have the ability to fax, pm me and I will give you my number...

Thanks

Congrads on your date Ali!

Richmond is making me so mad, I cannot get a hold of them at all! Are they closed this week for Spring break or something? I am trying to get a May appt. date with Baggs!

Finally talked to them!! He's booking June right now, I grabbed the last Richmond appointment May 25th, (they had sooner Vacaville dates available) but after I hung up I decided to take the Vacaville one exactly one month from today at 9:45 am!!

Ali - the binder is on the Kaiser Richmond Bariatric department web site in pdf form. I think you can print off what you need from there.

Hi Everyone!

Pat – Sorry to hear that you are not doing so well!!! It will all work itself out, don’t get too stressed. Back on track and before you know it another ten pounds will come off.

Ali – Congrats!!!!!!! Sleeve sister!

I hope everyone is doing well. The board has been slow but I have some pages to catch up on.

I’m doing well with the weight loss. I’m now almost seven weeks post-op and down 35 pounds. I still have a throw up episode every few days but I feel great and not too hungry.

Funding for my military job dried up overnight without notice and I’m home doing nothing but getting full pay. My company is trying to get the three positions back they lost so home I sit for a few weeks while they try to figure it out. I may have to travel for some work but I’m not sure Doc Who will let me go to the desert which is where a lot of open work is…

Oh well something will work itself out. Talking of working itself out…went camping this past weekend and I think every other meal came back up. Camping was lots of fun! Pam how was your trip we haven’t heard from you since PHX?

Happy Tuesday!!!!

Welcome Rachelle!

Kaiser Richmond doctors have limited office hours in Vacaville. Surgeries are all done in Richmond or S. SF / Freemont if you are in their programs. Most appointments in the Richmond program are done in Richmond. Congrats on only having 8 pounds left. Just a few more weeks! Looks like you got the ticker thing down. Welcome to the group!

      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.
