Talked with my GP this week and we both agreed this is the way to go.

I'm with Kaiser in Santa Clara and will attend the first orientation/class this Tues (June 12).

I'm excited, nervous, will I be accepted in to the program, will this finally be the answer to my weight problems?

I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has gone through the process at Kaiser Santa Clara.

I'm 64 years old, retired and presently 255 pounds, 5 feet five. My husband is very supportive of the decision.

I guess I just need a little input from those who have already gone through the procedure.

Hi Sounds like you are close to my age. I am 65, Type 2 diabetic, on 4 shots of insulin a day plus pills, plus all the other medical issues. If this can help with all my health issues than I am going for it. It seems there are not many of us that are older. I wish I had done something years ago but I can not look back. I have to take the plunge and hope to better the life I have left. Please keep in contact and share any of your health info with me.

Thank you,

Mokee

I'm scheduled for Nov 21!
