Hey jsouza, You know, my date is Nov 1st. 12 more days I have been over weight all of my life...Like you, I am so sick of fad diets. Try not to be nervous about the surgery... Postive thoughts about it...Only think about the pro's and not the con's. Myself, I will run to the O.R. I spent my frist 50 years being over weight and I will be damn if I spend my next 50 years with this problem. Once again, focus on the pro's and you will be fine. It will be worth it at the end Good Luck to you!

I would love to meet everyone here from SAC before Nov... How can we do this? We all could meet at Kaiser Point West... Any idea's?

Hi stromgardgirl, Well, basically the same thing happened to me. I was eating right and exercising my butt off, only to find that I did not lose a pound. When 2 months have past I still weighed the same. I contacted my primary doctor and she wanted me to do a thyroid test. BINGO! My thyroid was 30. The normal range is .03 to 5.5... Once she put me on the med they weight fell off. It took me 2 months to lose 24 lbs. Something to look at... Pam

Hey feedyoureye, Are you close to North Highlands? Maybe us 3 can get together... I would love to meet a friend who is going through wls.... What do you guys think? Pam

Hey hugsamber, My doctor is Dr. IM. I heard of Baggs because he is in the head man there...Well, at least to my understanding when it comes to WLS. Are you close to North Highlands? Pam
