Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Gosh, that is really wierd, I would have thought the meetings with the nutritionist would have been a somewhat important part of the whole process...but, what do I know. So, hopefully that speeds up the process for all you So Cal folks. Up here in the northwest we have to meet with a nutritionist at least 2xs with food journals and all that.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi Kym and welcome. I also had my surgery at Pacific Bariatric in May of this year with Dr. Tanaka. I really like him and think he is an excellent surgeon. Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the Pacific Bariatric program and I’ll do my best to answer. For the record, I’d say your chances are extremely good that you will not regret having wls – the others I’ve spoken with who’ve also had wls have been overwhelmingly exuberant that it was the best thing they ever did.

In the class they also said that Kaiser did away with the dietition part of the process. You would think that it would be the same for all of Kaiser. But I dont know anything... lol Kym > Hu Kym... > > Welcome to the best group on the web for WLS.
