Hi I'm Goldrush Granny from CA, I live in Gold Rush country of course and also live in a very very small town. I had surgery (gastric sleeve) about 4 years ago and did really well but have started to misbehave and now I find I have gained about 25 lbs I need to get to work on that NOW! Let's get this party started!

Hi Goldrush Granny, 1st I love your handle name, I'm from south Cailf close to coast San Deigo . Sounds like you have done great on your walk so far . My doctor says most people will put 15 /25 pounds back on after five years or so. Like the group so far I really need support group before and after surgery. I'm greatful for all feed back from everyone and I will post my after surgery and days ahead in hopes it will also help others.
 
Thank you, Diane. From the dates on their profiles I knew they were inactive. I just figured there wasn’t any harm in trying to see if they responded. I believe it was you who told me when I first came to the group that I could look up people based on my state. Unfortunately, most people seemed to be in Southern California (12-13 hrs from me, I can get to Oregon in 5). I live in Northern California. Grass Valley is on the other side of the mountain from me about 45 minutes to hour depending on weather bc it’s a windy road. I don’t think I could start a support group with everything going on in my life right now. Maybe if I had a cofacilitator. If you start one in Seattle let me know how it goes. Have an exquisite day! I’m off to appointments.

HI Cyndy,

I'm in San Jose, California but I travel to Sacramento once a month and stay for the weekend. Maybe we can meet in Sacramento sometime? I think Placerville is 40 minutes away from Sacramento, would that be too far for you?

I would like that very much. I am my mother’s caregiver and I only have help from 9-3, weekdays except for Tuesday. Would it be possible for you to meet on a weekday during the day? Perhaps a Thursday or Friday? Where in Sacramento do you stay?

Hi Cyndy,

I won't know which exact weekend I'll be in Sacramento til Jan 3rd. I'll let you know as soon as I found out which weekend, but it looks like Friday anytime after 12noon would work for me. I typically stay Fri thru Sun or Sat thru Sun with friends in Sacramento. I actually may be in Sacramento 2 weekends in January, one because the company I work for is transferring their old Sac clinic to a new Sac clinic so there will be a grand opening, and the other to celebrate my birthday with friends. I'll send you a private message with my contact info. Looking forward to meeting you!

That's so cool Bill, I have great memories of my dad taking me and my brothers to Knott's Berry Farm every year when I was younger.

I have to confess I haven’t been to a Knotts in a couple of years. I’m not a roller coster fan .They have a lot of them . I do have a Disneyland annual pass and we do go a couple times a month.Since Surgery we haven’t gone lately

I'd like to see Disneyland again, my dad used to take us there as well. I haven't been since Senior year of high school, and that was decades ago. My cousin takes her kids to Universal Studios a few times a year, so I think she has annual passes for there.
