San Francisco Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for fellow Bandsters in the San Francisco area. I will be having my surgery in late April/ early May and would love I have some close by band buddies to chat with!

Hello, I'm about an hour south of SF. Did you have your surgery yet? I'm scheduled for June 11. It'd be great to have someone local to chat with!

How are you guys doing? I'm good. 3 month post op. I've lost about 35lbs. I've had some interesting little issues. Nothing major. Mostly just me getting used to the band. Would love to have some locals to chat with.

Sounding like there are a few of us in the South Bayish area I am open to trying to meet to be with others on this band journey. Except for this forum, I only have one other friend who had the sleeve surgery. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know of the SF/Bay Area WLS Support Group! We meet on the first Saturday of the month in downtown San Francisco. The group is open to everyone (any surgery, any surgeon) and is moderated by me (a licensed therapist & wellness coach with a specialization in WLS).

Feel free to contact me at taragriffithmft@gmail.com if you'd like more information. Eventually, I hope to get our a group listed on Bariatric Pal (but I'm not quite there yet... a work in progress!!)

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Tara

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
