Hi my name is Marlie I was sleeved on April 24th and im looking for people in my area to get together with...... my surgeon has a support group but its over an hour away and I really want to find support near me!

Hello my name is Marisa, I live in Perris Ca, I'm waiting to be approved for revision from lap band to sleeve. My support group is also like an hour away. How's it going with your journey?

Hi Marisa im sorryn menifee when is your surgery? My journey is going great I had a little hiccup with some acid reflux but not ita taken care of an im doing good!!! Im on the pureed stage and so far so good im down 32lb.....how long have you had your lapband?

Hello Marlie! I don't have a date yet... waiting to be approved or denied. I've been banded for four years with no success I lost about 30 pounds and then regained everything back through out the years. You are doing great with your sleeve..32lb is awesome. I just hope they approve my revision... can't wait to do this. I'm glad you took care of that acid reflux, that is one of my concerns... I have really bad acid reflux and I'm always scared after I eat.

I hope uou get approved I have my fingers crossed for you what doctor are you using? Yeah iv never had it before so I didnt know what it was and the medicine I take makes a huge difference

Hey, if you're with Kaiser I had my revision done last May and it's been great. Best of luck on things.

thank you ,@MFoster9812... I hope to hear back from the insurance coordinator sometime next week, My doctor is Jeffrey Johnsrud in the city of Orange.

Your welcome please keep me updated I hope it comes back good news

Hello I am in perris as well. I have Kaiser so I am currently a little over half way through the 12 week required classes.

Hi how exciting is that the last thing you have to do before you get your surgery date? Good luck

Thank you! Yes we can meet with the surgeon after classes are over.

Hi. My name is Debi and I am in San Bernardino. I had my surgery on April 14 2014.

I am also in San Bernardino County. I had the RNY May 5th. I am down 32 pounds. I will be seeing my surgeon next week for another follow up. I am attempting to get into soft foods from puréed but it's going slowly. I have definitely learned to give food items or in my case vitamins a second chance. I absolutely couldn't stand my bariatric advantage multivitamin after surgery so I took another one. I decided to give it another shot today and took it no problem. Yes!! That also happened with eggs. Great to meet you.

I'm in Corona, my surgery is 7/1

I'm in Temecula, with a tentative surgery date of late October. I have been driving down to SD for all my appointments but would love local people to chat with.

I am in Murrieta have has my vsg on may 30
