I would love to meet up anytime you would like.. feel free to email me @ [email protected]
I had the Vertical Gastric Sleeve or VSG - I have had no complications with food what so ever. If I do eat something that I am not supposed to such as a greasy food It doesn't settle well... so I avoid those things and have been very lucky this far.
I started my WLS journey with Kaiser and ended up doing it with a different insurance company. I would love to get together and share info and answer any questions you have.

hey Mario, Thanks for responding and yes I'm sure I'm going to have a million questons..LOL! I looked at your blog and your journey is very inspiring. Losing that much weight is such a short time seems like a dream to me.
Though I live in San Jose, I am having my surgery at Kaiser in SSF. They have two Bariatric dept (SSF and Fremont) I started at 273 and now I am at 254. I guess I was close enough to my goal weight of 250 so he scheduled me.
I am interesting in getting to know more people in the area going through same thing. You may be just the contact I'm looking for because I would like to meet up in a groups for support in becoming more physically active with people who understand the struggles and the journey.
My first question - which surgery did you have and did you have any reactions to food. (dumping, nausea, etc.? (i'm kinda nervouse about that)
What did you eat for the first month after surgery?
Thanks Tami

Topic: RE: One month out in Central Cali
Hey there...Read your profile. Try and make it to the support group at Memorial tommorow. Patty is really good with the group. You can go ahead and ask me questions if you need to. Today is my 6th year out!! I don't have women friends on OH...Married guy. Don't want my wife asking "who's she"!! But she knows I try to be here for support. Sip, walk, rest, repeat. It should get better and better each day. Bye the way, dehydration is the # 1 reason WLS patents reenter the hospital. You aren't alone. Later, Brian from Turlock
