Dear Friends and Family of LapSF and the Surgical Weight Loss Center of Hawaii,
'Tis the season for giving! This is a good time to donate to food and clothing banks. Take this time to scan your kitchen and pantries for those unwanted foods you can do without (and make sure to re-stock them with healthy choices)! Since losing weight there are surely some clothes that no longer fit... consider dropping them off at your local Salvation Army or Goodwill.
We are very excited to announce that Laparoscopic Associates of San Francisco is moving offices. As of January 1st, our new office location will be: Dr. Cirangle will be having a clinic in San Luis Obispo on Saturday, December 18th. If you live in the area or know someone that is interested in weight loss surgery, please be sure to set up an appointment. Call the office at 415-561-1310 to set up your appointment today! Dr. Cirangle has a new office location in Santa Rosa for the patients who live in the area. If you're a fan of the high protein Hot Chocolate, then you might like our new flavor, Vanilla Cappuccino. It has 15 grams of protein per serving and is served heated. Perfect for a healthy winter drink!
We Are Moving!
1700 California Street, Suite 280
San Francisco, CA 94109
(cross street Van Ness Ave.)
There will be parking available below the office building. See you there in the New Year!
Big News! 
As of recent, Blue Cross of California is now approving the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. If you or someone you know is interested in pursuing weight loss surgery, call our office or register online at www.lapsf.com to set up an appointment.
Neglecting Exercise? 
Don't let the cold weather stop you! This time is just as important as always to continue your exercise regimen (or start one)! If its too cold outside for your normal routine, try the following:
- Bundle up!
- Walk the mall. Try getting there early before the crowd hits.
- Go ice skating with friends or family.
- Dust off your treadmill! Often its hiding under clothing... time to put it to use!
- Try the fitness programs on Wii.
- Use exercise videos.
- Go to the gym, attend an exercise class, try Zumba!
This time of year might be filled with more parties, events and dinners. Even more of a reason to get some exercise in and burn some calories. If you won't be able to make it to the gym or go on your walk after work, wake up early to fit it in. You'll feel better knowing you put in that extra effort!
