I am also interested in a Sacramento lap band group. I live in Elk Grove and was banded at Richmond Kaiser on 8/26/08. I went to a Kaiser Elk Grove bariatric support group meeting, but I was the only one who had lap band and I haven't gone again.

We should think of some places in the Sacramento area that have healthy options for a lunch group date. I'll get a babysitter so I won't be distracted by my 4 year old little girl. :frown: The Arden or Natomas area both have lots of options, what do you guys think?

I think Arden area will be great and also a midpoint for us. We can do Fresh Choice (i know it has some bad choices) however this way we can have better control or we can meet at any restaurant and order salads. How does this sound?

Arden area sounds good to me! Fresh Choice or any place with yummy soups/salads would be good too. Chilis, Applebees, California pizza Kitchen they all have delicious salads!

How old is your baby, Nicole? The surgeon appt is a pretty quick one so I bet they wouldn't mind. You can call and ask them though just to make sure. Do you have anyone that could watch her for you?

I'm available next Mon, Wed or Friday anytime or Tues/Thurs after I pick up my daughter at preschool at 11:30. I could be at the Arden area by 12:15ish.

Oh wow Nicole, I didn't even think of that! Good point. I love going on dwlz.com because they have TONS of restaurants with nutritional info listed. Calorieking.com is another good one too, just in case anyone wants to plan ahead like I will be doing.

Do you guys wanna meet at the Chilis at Howe and Arden? There are lots of choices on the menu and it's a nice casual place that we can hang out and visit.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
