Hi Everyone.

I am new to this site, and thought it would be nice to introduce myself. My name is Marisol. I am a 37 year old latina from sunny San Diego but currently live in Los Angeles. I am a wife, a mommy, and a craftster. I am 12 days away from having a VSG through Kaiser West LA. My Surgeon will be Dr. Benjamin Kim

With the day rapidly approaching the emotions are high and all over the place but I am looking forward to the start of a new and healthier life. Looking forward to getting to know all of y'all.

Thanks!

Nice to meet you and welcome. My surgery was with Kaiser Fontana 11 weeks ago and everything has gone smooth. No regrets - excited that I am 60 down from starting this journey! We have a great So Cal support group on here that meets in person on a Sat. morning every 2 months if you want to join us.

Welcome...the nerves and excitement that your experiencing will be very worth it:). This is definitely the best thing I could have done for myself. Also this online support is wonderful!
