Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

cukiemunster? I think most of us are going through Richmond but there are some SSF people too. From what other people have posted both facilities are good - I liked Richmond but then I don't have anything to compare it to.

I think I'm the only one here going through Fremont Kaiser, but I am sure they all pretty much use the same system.

Hi All -stopping by for a quick Hi. I did not fall off the face of the earth, just been struggling alot and also very busy. Read the first page here, but can't read all that I missed so catch me up on any big news from my Sistas of Surgery!

Really struggling with the eating for the wrong reasons - you name one and I've probably done it recently. Trying hard to get back to following all the rules, but it is hard. I'm still playing with the same 2 - 3 lbs.

I don't think my restriction is right yet, but it is definately better than before I had my first fill. I have had episodes of getting stuck, PBing and sliming - all such lovely experiences!! Mostly happens if I don't chew well enough or eat too fast and don't let everything catch up or do one of my emotional eating binges. I want to force myself to get back to following the program consistently before I contact Dr. Park about another fill.

Still struggling to get a regular exercise routine during the week. So far I walked after work on Monday and went to Yoga Tuesday night. Was going to walk tonight but since I haven't left work yet that is not going to happen.

I promise to come on again more often, as I know I need your support. Also have set a goal for myself to lose 27 lbs by 9/13 which will be my 1 year anniversary of starting on this journey with my pre-op diet.

I think someone mentioned a walk and lunch in Vallejo - I am definately up for that - would love some hugs from my sistas! When?

YAY Pat, so good to see you. I've really missed you. Would you please PM me your email address. I thought I had it, but I don't. I met a woman at the Kaiser group that lives up in your area and I told her about you.

Riley, I had hoped to finally make it to one of the walks but I'll be away on vacation that week.

I leave tomorrow at 3:30am for my 15 day trip to the South of France. I'm so looking forward to it!

Take care everyone! :(

I got the call yesterday and my appt with the surgeon was moved to the 18th :( I was so mad. It is so hard being so far away cause I have to take a day off just to go to any appts and its so frustrating when they bump me. So the lady I talked to told me the diet should have started after orientation...yikes. That was a year ago so I hope I am not in too much trouble!

I want to get my surgery moving! Any advice on how? I am not very flexible and able to be on a cancel list for appts unfortunatley :eek:

      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.
