  1. My greatest advice to you would be to walk, walk, and walk. I just had surgery on Monday, April 18th. So, I'm now 5 days out. I am actually feeling really good. Anytime I feel any discomfort or pain I would get up and walk in the hospital. Now that I am home, I am doing the same thing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
  2. Wow....thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
  3. Congrats! You are so close! I've just started my sleeve journey and have lost my first 10. Keep doing what you are doing.....it's working!
  4. I can't believe that I will finally be sleeved tomorrow. It's been 11 months since I started the process. Now, it's here! I have received so much guidance from the website. But, I want to give a huge shout out to my friends from the So. Cal Group. They are an amazing group of women. Looking forward to see you on May 7th!

  8. Best wishes to you on today. Keep us posted!
  9. I went through Kaiser. When I first attended their orientation meeting, I had to fill out a packet of information. I only had to write down all the diets that I had been on. I didn't need to show proof. After the packet was completed, they called an scheduled me for the Options classes. I hope this helps. As a side note, there is a group from this site that meets about once a month. If you are interested, let me know and I can forward the information. Michelle
