Larra,
Any support groups for December in San Jose coming up? Please let me know because I'm really interested in attending one soon.
Thanks,
Toasty
I went through the classes and had VSG 9/13. I live in the high desert and had to drive down the hill every week for 3 months, but it was worth it. There are a lot of people who live in the area, but this is a slow forum so you might not get a lot of responses.
Do you know which surgery you are interested in yet? I would suggest the forum of the surgery you want.

I finished my options classes on November 27, 2012 so now the waiting game. They told us some one would call us to schedule psyc eval and appt with Murali or Turner but it is so hard to not call them.
I will be starting wls classes in Fontana next week anyone here had surgery already?? Or is waiting for surgery in this area?
I've also been shopping at thrift stores. Some have 1/2 price days or like Goodwill, a tag color of the week that is 1/2 price. It has been quite helpful. Yard sales might work too. Oh, since we itemize deductions, I've donated the items I've shrunk out of as well. Heck, I might just keep shopping at thrift stores even after I hit goal. I could spend less on clothes leaving more money for fun things.

Goodwill, thriftshops, places like that. Keep an eye on craigslist - do many different searches. I needed new business clothes when I hit size 12 - and totally lucked out by picking up 4 bags of professional clothing for $25 on there. You just need to keep checking. Ebay is ok - but make sure you are watching the shipping charges. Some people will list an item for $0.01 but then tack on $9 to $29 for shipping.

I am just four weeks post op and have lost 28lbs so far. My clothes still fit but are feeling loose. I'm on a tight budget and I don't want to buy too much while I'm still losing and my sizes will continue to change. so I'm looking for ideas of how to get clothes, mainly pants (jeans, slacks etc) during the this weight loss journey. Are there web sites that do clothes exchange or donations from other weight loss patients? Also can you suggest inexpensive places to get clothes?
Please come and join the SoCal folks at a luncheon get-together. This is going to be held at our favorite little low carb shoppe and cafe.
Due to the size of the location, I ask that you please rsvp at the events link below. Miss Bobbie has asked that we try to get a head count so she is properly staffed to serve us. Also - the shoppe has a LOT of good low carb products, come prepared to shop!
