I just requested to join you on the meetup app

Bay Area anyone? ????

Hi! I've been looking for a support group. I live in Pittsburg. Do you have to pay a copay to go to the groups? When is it held?

I use to live in Chowchilla but I moved to Pittsburg!

East Bay. Anyone nearby, The support group at John Muir Concord, 2nd Saturday of each month, 10-11:30 is open to all and fabulous. Join us!

Hi Everyone!
I'm not sure if this is okay to post here, so if not, please remove! However, I'd like people to know that there IS a Bay Area Support/Meetup Group that's open to everyone and held in downtown San Francisco. I'm the moderator and am a licensed therapist and wellness coach who has been specializing in WLS for 7+ years. My group has been going strong since 2011 and typically meets on the first Saturday of the month. Feel free to contact me through Bariatric Pal if you're interested!

I live in the east bay! Would love to get together with people and do a little hike! Lafayette Reservoir is beautiful!

Would love to join some time!

@@ChavaBling I usually do the Lafayette Reservoir on Sunday's if you'd like to join! Trying to find EB people to join in!

I'm training for a 10k walk and usually do walks every weekend. I'd love to get together with people and walk. I'm not the fastest person but I can go miles and miles.

Hi NorCal peeps!
I live in the East Bay, work in the South Bay.
Good to see others here. Yay local friends.
Would love to find a support group around here. Just to check in from time to time.

East Bay (WC)!! I am young n fun n looking for some compadres to be on this journey with. I find it absolutely unacceptable that there is only ONE WLS SUPPORT GROUP in the area, and it's on a Tuesday morning in Concord- not really great for people that are employed!!
I have a private meeting space in a public building that we could use for free to meet- I just need some peeps! I have had a lot of trouble locating "bay area" support groups on this website. Also, the Bay Area is HUGE and we probably need separate EB, NB, SB, and SF groups.
Please send me a message if anyone is interested in getting something going. Even just 2 people can get together for exercise, support, shopping, whatever! It would be so amazing to have a friend/person who understands! And who doesn't need every single thing about your new lifestyle explained... I can organize/host in WC.

East Bay! Pittsburg

I'm in the Oakland area. Where are you?

I'm in Livermore.

I had my VSG done in Tijuana, Mexico. Had amazing care there! I went through Mexico Bariatric Center. www.mexicobariatriccenter.com! My surgery was June 2014. I was 286 preop and now I'm 205! My surgeon was Dr. Valenzuela. She was amazing!

I am in Tracy, CA and am getting the RNY gastric bypass on December 15th, 2014. Would love a support group or partner to help keep me on track.

I live in Pleasanton and looking for the group or few to meet up

Had mine in south San Fran Dec 22 Kaiser is awesome yes!!!!

If you click the drop down menu under Forums and highlight Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forum, you'll see Gastric Sleeve support groups.... then under go to Local support groups...there they have lots of people talking by where they live. I found a lot of people from Washington (where I live) You can probably find Bay area folks too

Awesome! We're very close!

I am from Discovery Bay, Ca. and my surgery is on January 21st 2015...
