Any interest in starting a support group in Prescott ?

Tucson has face to face support groups. They aren't affiliated with bariatric Pal, but a monthly F2F meeting in addition to all the amazing support on Bariatric Pal might be helpful to those of you in Tucson They have a Yahoo group-

TUCSON-Southern AZ WLS Support Group-

The online group mostly posts information about the meetings. It isn't really an online support group.

I live near Sierra Vista, and we need a support group here, as well. I am going to try a Facebook closed local group and see if I can get enough interest. I will recommend Bariatric Pal frequently. My goal is to start a F2F group locally.

I'm in the far west valley in tonopah. Anyone else out this way?

I am interested too, in the Phoenix Area, East Valley

Yes, yes, and yes.... I just started this pre-op process a few months ago. I would adore getting together with others locally that have gone through or are going through this process!!!!! That would rock on so many amazing levels!!!

I feel sort of lost in the process a bit. My bariatric specialist is zany and never really tells me where I'm at in the process, really. Except that I think I'm in the middle of it... ugh. I almost want to switch programs completely, but I don't know if that is possible since I just finished the psych eval and nutritional eval requirements, just need the letter from my doctor and a couple more months of my diet. But again, my bariatric specialist has not been a wealth of information at all.

Has the Phoenix, AZ f2f support group been created? I sure would like to join. I am in Avondale. There seems to be quite a few of us within the West side of Phoenix. I would love to open a group for all the Phoenix area. I see the posts on here are quite old. I would not mind even hosting a group. Is there anyone else who would be interested in joining? I have not been sleeved yet, my tentative date is May 3rd and I will definately need the f2f support. I would like to try to make a weekly group if it does not exist yet.

I would definitely support a group, but prefer North Phoenix area. I'm a 15 yr bariatric veteran still trying to reach goal--awaiting 2nd revision surgery as I type.

I am scheduled for surgery on February 1, 2017. I have Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism along with fibromyalgia and other painful BS. Has anybody had any luck with the sleeve or bypass with having Hashimoto's? I am in Tempe and would love to be part of this group.
