So Cal Newbie, looking for a mentor/buddy

[caligirl3 73]

Hi! My Dr. has just submitted my paperwork to the insurance co. for approval, so the waiting game begins. I'm decided on the sleeve and am hoping to get it done prior to 2014. We have some insurance plan changes at the new year, so I want it NOW!

Anyways, I'm in So. Cal., and am a single mom of two kiddos. I hope to lose 120 lbs, but I'd be reasonably happy with 100. I need to get to a weight so I can resume an active life again> at my current weight I'm so embarrassed to participate that I just sit on the sidelines. I'm ready to start putting myself first.

My Dr. group is Dr. LePort in Fountain Valley, and they come highly recommended. There are 4 or 5 surgeons in his practice, so I'm not sure exactly who I'll have in the end...
