I am not sure about age and complications.. but it does make sense to some degree.
Hi Slangland, welcome ! I am on the referral train right now and have been to six appointments so far. I have the nut, and psych to go ... then EKG, and finish the bloodwork. ( the first set of bloodwork)... I have been approved, and am waiting for my surgery date right now.
I cant go before 10-19 that will be my 8 weeks date of not smoking.

Hey Kaiser peeps! We have a group especially for you, and we're short on Southern CA types. Give us a whirl.

Hi, I'm in Orange County, and having my surgery in 38 days. Its nice to meet all of you SOCAL'ers that have gotten/are getting sleeved!

Hello everyone,
I'm in Socal, had my sleeve done in west la kaiser. Been almost 3 months and I've lost 45 pounds and feel great. I hope to get some good feedback from everyone.

Hi there, I'm from the Inland Empire also. Lake Elsinore to be exact. I've gone through all my classes and finally have a consultation appointment with the surgeon on April 26th. The reason I'm waiting until then is because I am living in the Truckee area for the winter so my granddaughter can train. She snowboards and has a dream of going to the Olympics one day so I'm doing my part to get her there. I'd love to hear from you.
