DaddyMarie 291 Posted January 21, 2014 Hey everyone. I'm in Auburn which is basically in Sac since my doctor is in Sac. I'm still doing all my pre approval BS And were shooting for April. I need local buddies.... This is scary! It is scary but you will be in very capable hands. Read and learn as much as you can on here. Follow the nutritionist's guidelines on Vitamins and Protein and you will set yourself up for success. WLS is more of a head game than anything else, I highly recommend regularly attending a support group. At almost a year out, I still attend and learn new things. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions. Erica Thank you soooo much!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abordenster 43 Posted January 21, 2014 Thank you soooo much!!! I'm in grass valley. My sleeve surgery is Wednesday. It took me 10 months to get through all the tests and weigh ins. I haven't really figured out how to post from my iPhone but I'll figure it out. 1 Kiki75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChavaBling 145 Posted February 11, 2014 Hi, everybody. This is my first post and I am going to my second "Information Seminar" tonight. I went to one about 2 1/2 years ago, but never lost the 35 lbs I was required to lose, and so I was never eligible at Kaiser Richmond. Now, I have new insurance and I can choose from Valley Care (Livermore or Pleasanton), Stanford, or UCSF. I know I'll still have to lose weight first, and complete a 6 month diet, but I'm feeling motivated! 2 FitnFabfor2014 and GENNYOSKINNY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
