Thank you everybody! There is a support group meeting once a month in UC irvine.

I finally found a doctor here in Orange County, Dr. Quebbemann in Newport Beach from the N.E.W. program and they also have a support group every other Tuesday. He is going to do my surgery on May 6th. He started quoting me 18k but I was able to talk him down to 14K. I thought on going to Mexico but my husband insisted to do it close to home. I wish you all the best and I'm look forward to stay in touch. I'm a little stressed out and I may be looking for support from all of you. To imagine.dream.inspire: where in Southern Ca are you?

Nigella, let's be friends and maybe we can meet at a support group. I have a few friends in Dana Point, I spend most of my life in Laguna Beach where I went to school and work sometimes. When did you have your surgery and do you have any regrets? Thank you

Thank you. Please let me know how hard your first two weeks after surgery have been! I'm not that confident that I'm going to survive all this stress.

Still finding my way around this forum. I live in Calimesa...45 miles west of Palm Springs, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles just off of I-10. Surgery in five days. Had the final pre-op tests this morning. I am excited and of course a little nervous. I am self pay, and this is my 70th Birthday gift to myself, surgery is 9 days before my birthday. I am beginning a new chapter in my life. :thumbup:

It is a very good thing!!

:party4:Enjoying the happy dance for the new me.

      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!

      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!!
