   2 hr Referral Orientation

    *I Attend Kaisers WLS Support Group 
             in Richmond & Livermore/Pleasanton.


 Being plugged into a Support System is vital  to me.
      I hang around people who understand the 
      seriousness of obesity & are committed  to their positive  WLS  lifestyles. 
I was told early on to put into practice "now" the things I'll be doing after the surgery, like exercising, taking vitamins, eating wholesome foods (within a 1200 calorie plan) so they can become well established habits. Also to use time to my advantage. 
 
I'd like to say to my dear Richmond friends: 
Debi, Sara, Sue, Judy, Michelle, Kimberly, Joanne, Monique, Judy & all your sisters,Arley, Christine, Laura, Linda, VickiO, Sally, Maria ,Mimi, Joyce, Pat & her cousin, Cathy, Jill, Ellen,Barbara, Vicki R., Kelly, Karen, Marianne, Pam, Jen, Bev, Elizabeth, Sarah, Kelly, Annabelle, Dave, George, Mike & Steve,       YOU ALL INSPIRE ME. 


Also, I attend a local Kaiser meeting in Livermore/Pleasanton.  
Thank you, Joyce, Angela, Elaine,Pat, Laurel, Judy, Rosemary,, Kathy, Marra,Carol, Jan, & Suzanne for being so helpful with my questions & all the things you've given me.  

And last but not least, 
Thank you ObesityHelp.com, who is made up of all you wonderful people. You have enriched my life in numberous ways. I've enjoyed getting to know many of you, reading your posts just when I needed them, being amazed by your b/4 & after pictures, laughing at the humor, & a few tearful moments of 
understanding the severity of obesity. 
How do I say thanks for sharing what I needed? 
May God truly Bless YOU ALL.
