Recommended Posts

I'm going through Kaiser San Francisco, and they require you to go to 3 orientation classes, then you have about 4 more appointments before your actual surgery date.. I've started taking my Vitamins exercising, but this food thing is harder then i thought.. i have a 3 year old son, and fixing him lunch for school everyday..lookin at chips, Capri suns,fruit Snacks, is soo hard.. i just need a little advice. how did u get past this hump?:blink:

Well ms, for me... there was no way to really do it but to "suck it up and carry on". I did find that the higher content Protein Shakes seemed to help me feel more full, though. I know it sucks, but remember, the preop diet is really for your safety (to shrink the fat deposits around the liver, thereby minimizing the risk of a tear). Good luck, and hand in there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
