Support Group meeting this Tuesday in Orange, Ca.



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

FYI this Tuesday Feb 1, in Orange at St. Joseph medical center there is a support group meeting. There are two meetings 5 & 6 pm. It is a great way to meet people share stories and keep in touch with fellow bandsters. The meeting at 5 is for newbies or soon to be and also all is welcome to both whatever stage you are in. At 6, a psychologist comes to the meetings to chat about issues with the band and food. All in all its a great way to meet people and stay focused. No one is judging and it's completely easy going, actually kind of fun. It's held in the cancer center located at St. Josephs hospital. I will be there if anyone has questions about it please feel free to ask.

Hope to see you there.

I wish I could find a support group here in San Diego that will accept anyone regardless if they were banded their doctor or not...I was banded in Mexico and have yet to find a support group here.

Hey there,

Glad to see you are coming. Its in Orange, Ca. at the cancer center. If you park in the parking structure its free after 6 pm so thats cool. I really like these support meeting the info is good and it motivates me to stay focused and look at the big picture. I will be there I have short blonde hair and will be on crutches since I just had knee surgery thursday but I will be there so please find me and say hi. A few people that had surgery the same day as me will be there so there is alot of support. Even if you have to drive up why not its only once a month.

Hope to see all of you there. If you get lost just go to the Pavillion its a part of St. Joeseph Hospital not actually in the hospitol but next door they will direct you there they are very helpful and friendly.

Awesome! I am sooo going to try to make it!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
