Hello! i was wondering if anyone has heard of or if maybe Dr. Machado is their surgeon. I am going to her informational seminar on May 7th and just wanted to know if anyone has gone through her. It's Sacramento Bariatrics in Sacramento Ca. Thanks!

Hello I am interested in lap band surgery and I was wondering if anyone knows of any Dr's in the Sacramento area. I am also looking for informational meetings or support groups in the area. Pleas if anyone has any information that would be great!!! Thank you!!!

Good Morning everyone! Hope all is going well for everyone. I love Thursdays... it means tomorrow is Friday. heehee Karri, OMG congratulations on running 5k!!!! That is so awesome. I have never ever ever been a runner but I guess I just need to try try and try again and build up. I usually stick with the eliptical... im scared of the tredmill heehee Did you start running for like 5 minutes then build up or? Congratulations though, that is SO EXCITING!!!! Phyll glad you are home. I am with Karri, I LOVE the rain. I know I know... I grew up in the bay area and now live in Sacramento for school so I was probably spoiled with nice rainy winters and hot and sunny summers. heehee I really do love the rain though! So I have also been trying to get my water in. How much exactly are we supposed to be drinking again? I usualy just try to drink as much as I can. LoL Hi Janet! Still thinking about getting a fill?? Okay everyone... I am off to work. Then back home to clean the whole house. Hope everyone is having a wonderfull Thursday. Bye!

Morning everyone!! Just wanted to say hello... I have been really busy lately with school and stuff. I do read every day though! Will post more later... have a good day everyone!

My first suggestion would be to change dr. You dont need new insurance to change dr.'s. Also call your insurance co and find out what they require for ex. 12 month weight loss history etc. Start from there.

LoL That is funny Denise! Goodmorning everyone!!! Hope everyone is ready for the weekend. I'm going to get my hair cut and highlighted tomorrow. yay! I had a , fill yesterday... my Dr. said im doing good. She gave me .15 it really is amazing how that little can make such a big difference. My sister came over last night for dinner and she said "is that all your really going to eat" LoL I was like "Woohoo" esp. since I couldnt even finish what I had. My Dr. is so so so conservative with fills... So i feel like It has taken me a really long time to get to this place of feeling restriction and not being hungry. I'm happy to finally be here! Okay off to work! Have a good friday everyone!

Hey Julie!!! Any updated pics??? Hope you are doing well... and enjoying the sunshine!

Morning everyone!!! Karry goodluck at your ps consult, im excited to hear how it goes, and Phyl have a safe trip!!!!! Hope everyone else is having a good Day!

Morning everyone!! Back to good old work today, arent Mondays a pain? I usually wake up on Mondays and think "today is a coffee day"! haha It looks like everyone had a wonderfull weekend. Karri, I cant wait to see your wedding pictures!! Janet, you look awesome!!!! This weekend was deff. a busy weekend on the thread, lots of people popping in who we havent seen for awhile. Hi everyone!!!!! Well... I spent the weekend (remember weekend for me is just Sunday LoL) doing some deep cleaning. I cleaned out my kitchen cupboards. It's always so refreshing to do that! Everything is nice and organized, everything old is thrown away and all the labels are facing forward. (my ocd habbit) haha Well I hope everyone has a good Monday!!!! I am planning on working on my closet today! We will see how well the coffee works. Bye!!!!

Hey everyone!!! Its Friday, yay!!! Hope everyone has a fun and of course relaxing weekend planned. I think I'm going to bo doing some major spring cleaning and maybe do some shopping. Phyll, I'm so sorry about your aunt. I know its hard to miss the funeral, I wasnt able to attend my uncles funeral as he passed away a week before Christmas. I felt really bad not being able to bo there for my cousins, but they understood that my work just wouldnt allow me to take the time off so close to the holidays. My aunt told me if anyone understood it was my uncle because he was very dedicated to his work. So im sure that Aunt ginny understand about your travels... as she was also a on her feet type of woman! My thoughts are with you... Well everyone hope you have a wonderfull Friday!!! Take care!

Yay!!! Our thread is working!!!! Finaly at 9:15 at night... i was going through withdrawls! haha Well hope everyone had a good day... Nighty night!

Happy Birthday Jackie!!!!!! Hope everyone survives Monday! Back to the same old same old. haha Grocery shopping today, so that should be fun. Oh and of course its payday so that always helps brighten a Monday. Well... off to work, then tan, then grocery shopping... then the gym or tennis? We will see. Happy Monday everyone!!!!

Okay everyone... im off to watch a lifetime movie. haha My back is hurting today so I'm going to take an easy. Happy Sunday everyone!!!!!:wink:

I got my band from Dr. Machado in July of 07 and there wasnt a program fee that I know of. It was covedred by my insurance. I heard there is a program fee now though so im not exactly sure. Goodluck!!!

Morning everyone!!! Phyll your picture looks great! I love getting a new haircut... it always makes you feel so good. Actually.... everyones pictures look wonderfull. Stephanie.... like everyone else has said, although it is difficult right now, it is a blessing that they found this out now. My aunt is bipolar and I think it would have helped a lot of they would have known earlier. Things would have been a lot easier. Karri, congratulations on the DH status change that may be soon to come!!! LoL Everyone else.... its Thursday, that means only 1 more day till the weekend!!!!!
