Bay Area of California anyone?

Hello all! I was sleeved 12/10 and am down 17lbs since surgery. I'm looking to see if there is anyone that lives near me and would like to become occasional work out buddies or attend support groups together. I live in the East Bay of Oakland-San Francisco area. :)

Hi! Well I am still in the approval process but I do live in Hayward, thats in the Eastbay. If i am approved for surgery it will be done in Oakland. I would love to be ur workout buddy. PM if interested:)

Hi I live in Greenbrae (N.Bay), I am scheduled for surgery on1/16. I wish I was in the east bay there are so many more options for work out groups. Have you ever looked at the meetup groups? There is a group I think its called WOW team its a womens walk run group, it sound great. But you should check out the meetup.com site there are really alot of options to find others in fitness. :) good luck

Hi - Congrats on your surgery and the progress you have made thus far!! I live in Los Gatos a little to far to travel to the east bay. I am still in the preop phase with surgery likely at the end of Feb/beginning of March. I do love to go for hikes and walk. I live next to the Vasona walking trail that goes all the way to Lexington, Rancho San Antonio, and Castle Rock. If you are ever in the south bay and want to meet up send me a message.

Since I ask everyone post surgery - where did you have your surgery, how was your recovery, what has been the hardest, the best, and lastly any suggestions to us pre sleevers on the best things to have around the first few weeks?

Thanks! Best of luck Bay Area Sleevers!
