Hello .. my name is Ellie and I live in Imperial Beach, Ca . I am not banded yet but will be having my surgery sometime in March 08 by Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana. I'm starting this thread for any one who lives in San Diego and has a hard time getting motivated to work out or needs a buddy. I personaly get very lazy ( lack of better discription) when it comes to excersize and I need a little push. Dr Huacuz told me its very important to have a regular excersice schedual to help in the weight loss as well as makeing my skin go back in place. I was thinking this could be a great place to meet new buddies and maby help each other .

Let me know if you have any thoughts

hi ellie- i don't live in s.d. but i will be passing thru for my surg. i'll be getting it done in t.j. too; before i had crap insurance that didn't cover l.b.& now i got blue cross but don't want to jump through firey hoops to get approved:rolleyes:.

i live north of you in norwalk, too bad!!! i'm looking for a gym buddy too, i get lazy real quick. i keep on telling myself, oh tomorrow i'll go...tomorrow...and it never comes. i still have a ways away till banding, but i do know that exersise IS important before and most certainly after surgery and for the rest of our lives. i have started changing how im eating and that's surpisingly going great!

well, good luck there girlie, and if you need to talk

p.m. me =)
