Dimples58 167 Posted May 11, 2017 Hello MusicMom and welcome to this wonderful forum. I am from the East Bay, San Fransico area. I stumbled across this website the later part of March and l absolutely love it. I'm currently going through the process of having WLS. I meant with my surgeon on Tuesday and on June 20th I'm scheduled to meet with the psy for eval. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This is definitely a HUGH lifestyle comittment. But I think I'm ready for the change. So hop on in and ask as many questions, browse through as many post, give suggestions and make comments. 2 sacsa97 and MusicMom1384 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know if anyone has ideas on howYes! Maybe we can do a meet up at a park or a Starbucks? (My dr doesn't allow coffee but I can get a tea!) I'm open Monday thru Friday from 4-7 in the San Jose area and during the weekends since I live in Hayward I'm open to meeting in Fremont or Milpitas. Also I created and instagram page just in case that is easier for everyone to message : Sasha.thesleeve 1 Julie norton reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
