Hello! I saw an old SD thread but since it dosent look like it is active I thought I'd post a new one. There MUST be other banded people in San Diego ... I;d love to find you, connect for support? ANybody out there??

I think the best way to start a local support group would be to just pick a day/time/location and start it up. One or two people would have to commit to being there each time to ensure continuity. Then put out the word and see if it grows.

Do somewhere like a Starbucks on a weekday evening at around 5 or 6 pm? We could just get together a chat. Or even Shakespeare Pub on India Street.

Are you all thinking about a weekly or monthly gathering?

Thoughts?

I think getting together would be AWESOME! Only problem will be picking a day and time that will work with most of us. I can not do evenings at all but could do a morning coffee around 10am someplace....anyone free about that time?

I can do Saturday or Sunday 10 AM, or could do a short coffee (like 30 minutes or so) at 10 AM Mon-Thurs in the Mira Mesa area. I work near Miramar. Mon-Fri 6:30am to 3pm, but cannot get out of the office on Fridays.

Shay, what time to you walk after work?

Hi all! My name is Chrissy and I am in the process of getting my medical clearance finished up (have already done my psych evaluation). So I don't have a surgery date yet but I am hoping to get one soon. I am in La Mesa, CA and I am looking for people close by to talk to online maybe even meet up with at some point for support. Even though I am a little nervous/scared about the surgery I am super excited because I feel I have let my weight hold me back for too long and I am so over it.

Hello I am in the El Cajon area and getting banded on November 16th!
