↖(^▽^)↗Looking for people from california, Im in Redding, ca Having Surgery In San Jose, ca

@@thisfathasgot2go It's generally 3 months after you first meet with your surgeon, so if you're in a hurry get the consult scheduled with your surgeon as soon as they'll let you.

There are 3 support groups near you. The Hollywood group meets once a month on the third Tuesday, the Pasadena group meets once a month on the 2nd Monday. The Playa Vista group meets twice a month on the 2nd Monday and last Wednesday of the month.

These are post-op support groups, but pre-ops with questions/jitters are welcome and often come. If any non-Kaiser SoCal folks are reading this, these free groups are actually open to anyone who want to come. You don't even have to be a KP member.

As for your lowish BMI, you're above 40 so that qualifies you. The fact that you're very little above 40, and hopefully below after you've lost the required 10% over the next 3 months will only help you. It will greatly reduce the risk of complications.

You're welcome!
