:thumbup: Are there any Northern Californina people out there? There are many LB's done here yet. I have lost 20 lbs so far and love it. It would be great to hear from someone around here! Have a great day!

Hi Kate,

Where are you in NorCal ? I am in Elk Grove, but I travel all of N. Cal for my job.

Doc

Humboldt County. Isn't Elk Grove near Sacto?

Hi,

I'm from The Bay area! :thumbup:

I also live in Elk Grove and was banded at Richmond Kaiser on 8/26

I go to Kaiser Richmond too. I live about 10 mins from there.

My Dr s name is Arron Baggs . He gave me my second fill.

Has anyone else gotten a big bruise from there fill ? I sure did I still have the black and blue bruise from last week. The problem is that I have been chewing my butt off but I still am getting stuck almost every day I have to PB almost every time I eat. I also have days that I can eat almost anything just fine. But once I get stuck that means I cant eat or drink much all day. But the upside is that I am dropping weight. I may need a lil unfill but I don't want too because I am finally dropping the pounds. I have been banded for 4 1/2 months. The thing is that I only have about 60 pounds to lose but my sis has about 180 pounds to lose and she has already lost 50 or 60 pounds she got banded a month before me. I have only lost about 12 pounds.And that was because of my diet post band.

Hi!

I'm in the bay area too. Got banded on 10/28. Hoping to see some great progress soon!
