Anyone else out there from California?

Hi Caliblonde and Adri. How has your progress been? I'm in OC too n wondering if u guys found a group yet :0)

I am from Palmdale Ca.

Hi get in my belly

I had my surgery at UC Irvine and they have a long standing support group for wls patients. I have only gone once and may not be able to go again for awhile because I am going back to school. But here is the address to the website, maybe you can give them a call and see if anyone can attend. It meets the 3rd tuesday of each month. See the "events" portion of the web page. http://www.healthcar...trics/index.asp

Hi! I'm pre-op in Sacramento. Would like to join a support group here. Any info is appreciated!

Oh I love your ticker!!! I'm in Santa Clarita and 14 months out.

Hi Lunarose. Nice to meet you. What's your journey been like so far?

I know that lilmissdiva has a support group forum. You might want to hit her up for help on where and when they meet.

Hi Lessizmoore,

I have heard through the Kaiser message board that there is a support meeting every Thurs 7pm at Raley's @ Madison/Fair Oaks. They say it is not affiliated with Kaiser, and is open to anyone pre or post op. I have not verified this myself, but I need to drag my butt over there
