I have never participated in a support group because my surgery was 12 years ago. In fact, the pre-op was simply him drawing what was supposed to be a stomach on a manila folder, circled a small portion and said "this will be the size of your stomach...are you ok with this?" I am here for anybody who has questions, etc....I've lived it and I'm a success story.

Wow, you look it too! I just had my surgery May 21 and although I normally would'nt log on to something like this, I need all the support and help I can get to loose the weight and keep it off, and most importantly live a healthy lifestyle. I live in the San Diego area, my surgeon is Dr. Wittgrove. So far I've had a few set backs but feeling optemistic.

Not from San Diego, but wish I was! Love it out there! I'm from the frozen tundra: Wisconsin. I visited SD in January and it was about 72 the whole time I was there. I came back and we had the coldest week all year: a HIGH of 20 below zero!

LOVE Lake Geneva!!! I visited there for business last July and fell in love with the place! I'll trade ya!

Ok..but only for winter! Lol all kissing aside, I live in south eastern Wisconsin in lake country. We have five lakes in our town it's beautiful. IN SUMMER!

What area of San Diego do you live in?

I just moved here a year ago from Rochester, MN. I lived there 5 years and had enough of the frozen tundra and decided to move. I love it here but you pay high prices to live in this paradise.

The housing is crazy out there although the rest of your prices are right in line with what we pay in Wisconsin. My husband and I are thinking of moving but we're going to need help with moving expenses...crazy housing!

I am in San Diego and would love to make some local WLS friends!
