Anyone near Sacramento?

Hi I am from Sacramento /elk Grove and just had my surgery on 10/1/2014 @ Sutter General under Dr. Steven PATCHING. I am at home in recovery mode. I came home with a Drain that I am not too happy about but hopefully it will be taken out on Tuesday at my post op appointment

Hello everyone! I am from Manteca CA. I was sleeved 10/14. Every thing seem to going well for me I have not had any issues. The only thing that I have a little problem with is the lack of energy. BOOOO!

I had my surgery done in Santa Barbara while I was in college but now I am currently in Santa Cruz.

I'm in Sacramento. Mine was done 7 days ago at UC Davis.

I'm in Tracy south of Stockton

Hi I'm from the Elk Grove area (Wilton) my surgery is the 26th I see some locals a few months out. :0)

I live in Pittsburg!

Just found this. I'm in chico too. Sleeved by dr. Simchuch (Ludwig assisted). Who was your surgeon and how are you doing?

I was sleeved by dr Simchuk as well. My Surgery was on 11/25/14. How are you doing.

hi, sorry, I'm not on here very much anymore. .. I hope you're doing well, it gets easier, I promise! It's been 14 months and I'm doing great... very healthy and all my labs are good... I lost 95 lbs and one of these days I'll kick my ass* into gear and lose the last 15 lbs, lol... it's definitely harder now because I have to really watch my diet and make good choices, but I keep up on it daily. I moved to Florida so I'm not in Chico anymore, but I hope your experience with Simchuck was as great as mine.♡

I am in san Jose.

I am in San Jose too!

I'm in san jose also.

Are there any support group meetings around that you know of for San Jose?

I went to my first at kaiser Campbell. You don't have to be a kaiser member to go. It was small but maybe because it was right before Christmas. Very nice helpful people in various stages of post op. I plan on going to the next one on January 28th at 6pm.

Good samartian hospital has some also. I'll find out tomorrow
