Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

I am also interested in a Sacramento lap band group. I live in Elk Grove and was banded at Richmond Kaiser on 8/26/08. I went to a Kaiser Elk Grove bariatric support group meeting, but I was the only one who had lap band and I haven't gone again.

We should think of some places in the Sacramento area that have healthy options for a lunch group date. I'll get a babysitter so I won't be distracted by my 4 year old little girl. :frown: The Arden or Natomas area both have lots of options, what do you guys think?

I am game:) I would have to have my baby with me though.. I am still a lil weary of daycare centers:) Any of us that live in Sacto, i go to Fitness 19 and REALLY need a work out budy. I get too bored alone:D

Anyone wanna join me:D

I think Arden area will be great and also a midpoint for us. We can do Fresh Choice (i know it has some bad choices) however this way we can have better control or we can meet at any restaurant and order salads. How does this sound?

Arden area sounds good to me! Fresh Choice or any place with yummy soups/salads would be good too. Chilis, Applebees, California Pizza Kitchen they all have delicious salads!

Are any of you Yahoo Instant Messenger people? If so, add me! I'm swishbc and we can chat once in a while and keep eachother motivated and on track.

Fresh choice sounds AWESOME:)

Hey does anyone know if infants can go to the surgeon appt? I would love to get to bring my husband, but to do so that means bringing the child:D

MY YIM is or_eo17

I'm not sure but you can ask the clinic if you can bring your baby.

Lets set a date? Any day is fine with me.

How old is your baby, Nicole? The surgeon appt is a pretty quick one so I bet they wouldn't mind. You can call and ask them though just to make sure. Do you have anyone that could watch her for you?

I'm available next Mon, Wed or Friday anytime or Tues/Thurs after I pick up my daughter at preschool at 11:30. I could be at the Arden area by 12:15ish.

Lets meet up next monday???

Noone to watch her because everyone I am close to will be out of town, (jan 2nd).. Iwill have to call...:frown:

Monday works for me!

Sounds good whose all comin;) and lets go to a restaurant since fresh choice can be very addicting.. buffet style and all lol.:party:

Oh wow Nicole, I didn't even think of that! Good point. I love going on dwlz.com because they have TONS of restaurants with nutritional info listed. Calorieking.com is another good one too, just in case anyone wants to plan ahead like I will be doing.

Do you guys wanna meet at the Chilis at Howe and Arden? There are lots of choices on the menu and it's a nice casual place that we can hang out and visit.

Monday is fine with me so long as it is after 11:30. Chilli's sounds good to me .
