Topic: Lap-Band surgery on November 12th
I am so exicted....I received the call today....
I have so many thoughts I don't know where to start so I will just say that I am so grateful to the Bariatric staff at South San Francisco (SSF), CA Kaiser Permanente for their great program. I have learned so much about myself since I started my journey in April of this year. The lifestyle classes are an excellant source of information from the professionals and the post-op patients. I go to these classes every month at the Point West Kaiser in Sacramento, CA. Since I live in Sacramento that is the best location for me. I will have the surgery in SSF Kaiser.
I will post more soon.
LOL,

I want to thank all of you for sharing so much of your personal lives with me. You don't know it but all of you have been holding my hand for the past 9 months.

Going to classes, seeing what I have to look forward to, and bridges that I may have to cross, thank for shaing your journey with me .... I know that I'll be on that loser bench sooner than I think.
Topic: RE: Support groups
Were are you located? You can go to the board for were you are located and post a question there about it and you should get some responses. If not your surgeons office should have a list of ones near you.
Topic: November 6 is my new birthday!
I have my date! Tuesday, November 6!
Insurance took 3 days to approve. What a shocker. They wanted me to lose 30 pounds prior to surgery and I'm already down 20.
Who else is on the 6th?
