SIMI VALLEY SLEEVERS UNITE! (Ventura County, CA)

Anyone in Simi Valley or the surrounding areas who has gone through the sleeve or is planning to? Sound off!

I'm Mallory, by the way, and I am going through the Options Program with Kaiser Permanente - Woodland Hills (class starts 10/1/2015! I'm so excited), then my Surgery will take place in West L.A. I am looking to loose about 130 lbs.

Hi Mallory,

I'm in the SFV, though my SF doc has a support group in Ventura that my wife and I frequently attend (she went through this ten years ago.) You have quite a ride in front of you!

Hi Mallory, im in Woodland Hills....getting sleeved on October 13th...how are you?

btw i did the Options program at Woodland Hills Kaiser a few years ago and it was great, really educational. Unfortunately i didnt end up getting the surgery back then but a few years later im less than 36 hours away from it,i changed my insurance to PPO so im not doing it at kaiser but youll do great, youll learn alot during the options program...the food and exercise logs really help open your eyes about what we put in our bodies....best of luck on your journey!!!
