Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Ash, are you going to ask to be transferred to Kaiser Richmond? You can still come to our support group there, even if you're not at Richmond.

There was one woman at the support group on Wednesday night that had the sleeve. I'd say 90% there had RNY and a couple of Banders.

I want to try to talk to the sleeve woman next month if I see her. I don't know who here doctor is. She just had it done a couple months ago and looked terrific.

Band date is in my siggy . . . . I did not do sleeve because 1) wasn't a choice when I went through the program, but more importantly, it's much more invasive than the band - still involves a great deal of cutting and stapling, like RNY but without the re-routing. I would have considered it if Kaiser had offered it at the time, but would still have chosen the band, and it was the right choice for me :-)

Evenin all....

Ash, the sleeve was not offered at my time of orientation (had my surgery @ SSF), but if it was, I still would have gone with the band...still too much redoing the insides, the lost of weight toooo fast for me, (in several ways). I do like the accountability of the band as a good tool...for life, and a healthier one! Also, did not like the malnutrition side of things...as a compulsive eater I need to continue to do the mind work continually, with exercising and all things in moderation! I get to celebrate my bandiversary 12/10! (1yr)
PB = Productive Burping, when the food you eat for various reasons...too fast, too large or just not band friendly comes back up (with saliva). Listening to our body signs...and knowing what it is saying, eating slowly, NOT talking while eating, chew chew and chew, also knowing what different foods may not go down as easy. Hope this helps!
