Any Bay Area California Sleevers?

I'm just starting the process, anyone near Santa Cruz or Santa Clara? I will be going through Kaiser Santa Clara and would appreciate some local support.

I would love to meet with some of you ladies. I am east bay (Brentwood). I'm trying to go to support group in Antioch through Kaiser, but the new year calendar is not approved yet. I just think any support I can get at this point will be helpful. Again I am going through Fremont Kaiser. I have a friend in Brentwood that is also pre-op and going through Kaiser Richmond. I'm sure she would love to come too.

I go tomorrow for my physciatric appointment. I get so nervous with every appointment. I'm afraid they are going to say "you can't have the surgery now". I feel like now that I have made my decision to go for it, I'm going to be let down. Wish me luck!

Hope you all had a nice holiday. It is such a hard time of year to try to loose weight or keep it off.

Take Care,

Drea

Hey Drea!!

I'm a pre-op Kaiser Fremont gal too, but live in Tracy. As it turns out, I'll be going to me first-ever meeting in Antioch next Tuesday (the day actually works for me...yay!), so if you can make it...that'd be fab :)

The Psych had me all wierded out too, but it was just a really chill chit-chat session. I felt silly that I had actually postponed it a couple of times!

I don't have a ton of friends on here as I spend far more time on FB (just joined a couple great groups there), but if you ever want to chit-chat PM me. It'd be great to have a pal going through the same thing and in the somewhat same timeframe.

Hi Drea, have you gotten a surgery date? I'm going through Kaiser Fremont and Dr Chu is my surgeon. Hope to hear from you soon. Good luck to everyone pre-op and post-op.
