NEW to OH

Hi all,

My name is Roberta and Im new to OH and looking to find people in my local area and surrounding. I am in the process to have the RNY with Kaiser, Richmond Dr. Baggs. I have my case manager appt on Monday and hope to get a surgery date that day. I am told I will as long as Im at goal or below which I am. I am looking forward to living a new healthy life style and of course nerves creep in every once in a while.

Look forward to getting to know everyone on here!!

Hi Roberta,

Welcome to OH and to the Cali Board.  My husband's cousin used to live in Galt, such a cool place still in the country.  We hope you'll come join us for our Nor Cal Luncheons, in fact Nancy aka Sunray had her surgery at Kaiser Richmond and lives in Sacramento.  On top of that we've got a wonderful group of folks who are very welcoming and friendly and always happy to give support and assistance.  On top of that we have SO much fun.  Look for my post a little way's down and consider coming.  Bring a friend, spouse or family member if that makes you more comfortable.

Congrats on beginning your journey, we're here to help you along the way and so happy you've decided to share it with us.

Welcome again,
Barb

HI Roberta!!

Welcome to the Cali Board. I think this is the best forum on OH. You know that is funny about this surgery you emontions will be all over the place. So it is very normal. I tell all the newbies the best way to get to know everyone is to just join in on the post and keep posting yourself. Remember no question is silly. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Yeaaaaa Roberta...you found us!!!!  I'm so excited to hear you made goal, that you have your appt next week with Dr Baggs...oh, heck, I'm excited about everything that is coming your way ;-)  I've missed our Monday meetings, the Elk Grove walks over the past 2 weeks...so glad you posted here so I could keep tabs on you LOL

Hopefully, you'll be back to town in time to get to the meeting Monday nite...other wise I'm gonna have to call you for an update.  Oh man...I am just sooo excited for you...brings back all the emotions and questions I had in the beginning...you are going to do soooo good thru this...nerves and all LOL
Hugs and hope to see you Monday
Nancy aka Sunray

Hi Roberta, I so happy you joined us here on the Cali Board. Everyone here is so friendly, helpful, and simply wonderful. I know about those emotions..... scared one moment then anxious, then happy..... a virtual rollercoaster.   Boy, do I LOVE rollercoasters!!! I will keep good thoughts for you on Monday, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get a surgery date. I should know my surgery date on Monday too.

Keeping positive thoughts!!!
