Looking for locals in Orange County.



Recommended Posts

Over the last 2 weeks I've gotten to know some REALLY nice folks here on the site, and the support here is just fantastic. I would love to meet some locals to the Orange County area .... Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Costa Mesa etc. I have not received my band.... I'm still in the approval stages but I thought there must be someone out here in Southern California that has been banded and wants to share their story and their wisdom to someone closer to home. Here's hoping, :) :) :D

Hi Patty,

I live in HB and had my surgery on 11/24 by a great Dr. in Mexico. It was very quick recovery and was back to work on Monday. If you want to chat or have any questions please let me know. I am newly banded but am very excited about the new tool to loose weight. I started at 250 and now down to 240.

Dear Vikki,

It's so funny that you wrote. I was just approved 2 days ago. I am still adjusting to the news but I would love to have a local friend that is taking this lapband journey also. Please share with me how you are feeling now that it has been over a week.

Hugs,

Patty

Good Morning,

Esmeralda did I read that correctly.... you had a baby while on the band?

Thanks for the invitation to chat. I would love to get to know you better.

So, you work in Fullerton, I was just in Yorba Linda to take my son to the pediatrician. That 57 freeway is awful, I don't know how you do it. My home is where the 22 and 405 freeways meet -- I bet you drive by my house everyday. Do you know where Sunset Ford is with the balloon shaped like a whale? Thats where I live! Well, I'm off to kinkos to print my Christmas letter, Bye!

Hi all, I live in La Mirada, on the boarder of Buena Park. Would love to have a support group around here! My doctor is in Fountain Valley, and yes, they have their own support group. However, it is a long journey for a mother of 3 to make every week to Foutain Valley.

I was banded just this last thursady the 29th of March. Everyting is going well!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
