Hey everyone. I'm in Auburn which is basically in Sac since my doctor is in Sac. I'm still doing all my pre approval BS And were shooting for April. I need local buddies.... This is scary!

Thank you naomijane! When Is your surgery scheduled?

I don't have a date yet. I started my medically supervised weight loss program on Jan 1st. I go to my second app next Thursday to weigh in. Pretty excited. I have a 6 month waiting Period per my insurance. So surgery probably mid to end of summer.

It is scary but you will be in very capable hands. Read and learn as much as you can on here. Follow the nutritionist's guidelines on Vitamins and Protein and you will set yourself up for success. WLS is more of a head game than anything else, I highly recommend regularly attending a support group. At almost a year out, I still attend and learn new things. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.
