Did anyone have LaPort in Fountain Valley CA?

Just wondering, that's the doctors name they gave me.

I went through Le Port, awesome group of 4 surgeons, I chose Dr. Ali as he had done the most VSG. It is a great group, support, nutrition, system they have there, very happy! Good luck!

Thanks so much for your quick reply! Did you have to do a 2 week persugery diet? If so, what was it? Thanks so much!

Dr. Ali didn't overly emphasize it, I actually had to ask is there anything I should be doing before the surgery!!? He then sent in an assitsant who talked about Optifast shakes, not mandatory, I didn't go that route. To lose some before surgery is advantageous, as it shrinks the liver so makes it an easier surgery. I just started 2 shakes a day and a healthy dinne, low carb.
Good luck! ;)

Great! Thanks! I've been drinking the EAS Whey Protien drinks for weeks, tring to prepare myself for anything. LOL!! Thanks so much for the heads up!

Hi ladies! I am scheduled with Dr. Ali in 2 weeks! I am so nervous, and have considered backing out more than once. Where did you have your surgery? I will be at fountain valley regional. Can you give me an idea of what to expect?  Was your surgery on time? How are you doing? I don't see too many patients from LePorts office here so I'm kinda excited  sorry for all the questions???

I haven't had my surgery yet. But I can't wait!

Good for you!! When are you scheduled for? I wish I felt that way I am going crazy here...one day  I can't wait the next the thought of going under the knife terrifies me. My family wants me to do it, just not sure if I do. One thing is for sure is I need to lose weight!!

Well, I want the sleeve, but my nutritionist at Kaiser, told me that the doctor has the final say. But then I've heard that people are getting what they want. I'm hoping for a cancellation in the next two weeks, cause I'm off of work then. Let me know if you back out or want to put it off a week or two, I'm sooo ready! I'll take your spot! =o)

Wow! I will...People are just so ready. I have Kaiser too. I stayed on top of everything to make sure there was no delay in my surgery and here I am freaking out. My doctoe didn't stress a liquid diet either but I have been low carbing for about 2 weeks now. Will continue until a week before then go on protein shakes and clear liquid the day before. Pray for me.
