Hello everyone!!! Yes, I agree with Pam, I researched the surgeries offered me and really knew the band was right! Which was interesting, because my support person was more bypass. But I knew w/ my way of thinking to wanting good accountability aftercare to desiring a slower steady & sure way of weight loss for me, the band was it. Even if the sleeve was offered, I still would have chose the band, and am enjoying everyday my choice w/ this method to continue to get healthy! BUT, make sure you do your research and as much as needed, checking the good & bad for all cases. Talking to people about the different surgeries (true stories) helped! You will know over time, which is right, dont rush decisions! Soooo, who all is game for Sac Support Saturday @ Kaiser Point WEst off of Arden, from 11:00 to 1:00pm... afterwards...Mimi's for lunch?! John & Nikki, Ali, Stacey, Tina, MOnique & Ash, Heather, Pam, Newcomers please join us...anyone else, Pat, Maria, Reggie, Candra? Hope to see everyone possible! :thumbup: Yes...clothing exchange too!

Hey Tina! How is everyone, I do keep up with the board reading...trying to keep hydrated tooo in this heat. Sending out an email, would like to do Mimi's for lunch after the next meeting, to celebrate turning the big 5-0! So glad I have gotten the band, I am feeling younger, more energy and healthier now, than I did @ 40! Definitely worth the waiting time & followups, of course all the support from our group too!

We generally meet for 1-1.5 hours then separate to respective groups of surgeries (RNY(Bypass), Band & Sleeve) So much support and comradrieship, ALSO a great clothing exchange, you can bring your clothing to, which is donated to a nonprofit org right after the meeting, in what is left. Hope all who are celebrating have a great Father's day tomorrow, and those who are missing Daddy (I am) enjoy the good memories and take time to be comforted also! Hello to everyone in the group, think I saw April mention a gather & walk time for possibly the 10th of July? Jon, where u & Nikki at? Disappearing? Heather how the house, puppy and YOU? And allll our ladies doin? Missin everyone! Pat? :thumbup:

Good Thursday afternoon all! How is everyone doing? Sorry, I have been MIA for awhile, have been taking care of school duties, home & church too! I am backing up onto track, w/ a 2mile walk(great cool day for it) and workout inhome. Hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to allll the newcomers...congrats on beginning such a wild, interesting and rewarding journey! (Cookiemonst-sp?) I had surgery in SSF, and am very glad I did...u can pm me with questions! Was banded 12/08...and am still on the learning curve...it is a lifestyle changing! I sure miss everyone, BUT I have been keeping up with the reading, so glad Tina and all are back, Reggie u still around? So here is a crazy thought...how bout a Vallejo Bridgewalk, THIS sat the 12th and lunch? Anyone game? Thought we could get one in before Chrissy's surgery next week. Sorry Riley, I cannot make the 26th, that is our support group day...Riley could u come here too? There is a plastic surgeon planned for that day AND the author of "Fat No More" w/ a seminar. I plan on going, anyone else (w/ Tina) doing the seminar afterwards? We could maybe even bring a light bag lunch, if anyone is game. Can't wait to see (& HUG) everyone again! I really miss our ladies...of course John too! Just thought I would check in...ready to bounce back in with my band on...and prepare well before the big bday. Hope everyone is doing well, pls forgive me for not being around...email if you get a chance!
