Hey everyone! Wow! Thank you all for responding, I took the advice and called Kaiser and pressed 9. They said it is too soon for me to call. Lol. I make it a point to always ask how a person is doing, probably because I work at a call center and Verizon finds it very important to engage. I will call back this week though. I finally am going back to work after three months, so I am excited to be back to work and get going on this process. Verizon Wireless has a gym with certified personal trainers, the fee is only 15 a month, so I am excited to have them work with me after my orientation. The nice thing is we don't have to pay extra for these trainers. Verizon promotes great health and they are VERY encouraging. Great support system. Its hard to find that on the work force, but the call center has contests and weekly/monthly goal winners. We have over 600 people at our call center, but they join up teams and strive for great health. I am just excited. I have enough vacation and personal time for this whole experience. Thank you all sooo much for getting back to me. Everyone is so supportive, the only person hesitant is my boyfriend. He has this idea I'm going to leave him after I lose weight. I am the same person extra curvy or a little curvy lol. He will come around though. I can't wait to meet the famous Liz, they do have to weed out the not so serious, I don't fall in that category so bring it on!!! :thumbup:

Thank you for responding swishbc. I just got my referral today and they said my appts will be in Richmond. I called the Bariatric facility and the automated system said 3 weeks. Guess I will just wait.lol its a good thing I have plenty of personal and vacation time at work to fit these crazy appts everyone talks about. When should I start the 10%? After Orientation? I look forward to everyones advice!

Hey everyone, I spent some time last night reading this forum, because I was having my "referral" appt today. I have been officially referred and the doctor explained it was in Richmond. Funny how I found this forum :confused:. I am excited to start this journey. I see you all have such a support group, I hope I can be apart of this group. I am so ready for this journey after 6 months of researching. Anyway just wanted to say hi,and let everyone know I read their success steps and what a proud thing to see. Stephanie
