Hi Alex and BariatricPal pals,

I am ready, willing and able to start up, and looking forward to growing a fun, active new Local Chapter here in western San Bernardino County, based near the south Ontario/Chino area. I am tentatively aiming for a Saturday morning monthly group, probably 9:30-11:00am. I will begin looking for a meeting location this week.

If anyone is interested in co-leading this group in this area with me, I'd love to hear from you/meet you, etc.

So, if YOU or anyone you know would be interested in these new, awesome BariatricPal face-to-face meetings in Ontario/Chino, please post a reply so we can start the ball rolling!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Going to try to make it to the group this Saturday!

Hi suekistar~

Hope to see you there!

BARIATRIC PAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP

First Saturday of Every Month, 9:30-11:00 AM

***NEXT SUPPORT GROUP IS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 9:30-11:00 AM***

Hi BariatricPal Pals!

We're celebrating our Super September Group!!!

I am DELIGHTED that we were almost 30 STRONG. As you know, our Agenda had been planned based on 15 RSVPs, so of course that meant several of you did not have an opportunity to share what may have been very important for YOU. We have a great new plan for October's Group to better accommodate our exciting growth, so that everyone who wants to speak can do so. Please bear with us--thank you!

October's Mini-Topic of the Month will be:

Self-Care Tips & Tricks: Taming That S-T-R-E-S-S Monster!

You can help A LOT to keep our support group productive and powerful by

PLEASE RSVPing if you are coming, NO LATER THAN THURSDAY night, OCTOBER 2 TO:

KAISER PERMANENTE

DIRECTIONS:

From the 60 Fwy, take the Vineyard Ave exit. The Medical Center is on Vineyard Ave, just north of the 60 Fwy (NE corner Vineyard Exit & 60 Fwy). When you enter the short driveway from Vineyard Ave, you'll see a tall building just to your left. That is Building A. There will be ample parking in the lot in front of the building. Enter the building's double doors and you will see a large receptionist area. The elevators are just to your right of the receptionist area. (DO NOT CHECK IN at the reception desk; proceed directly to 3rd floor.)

I am RSVP for Saturday 10/4/14. Thank You

Hi washda,

Appreciate your letting me know. Hope you can save the dates for Nov & Dec--we all need that little extra self-care time JUST FOR US during these upcoming busy months. Saturday Nov 1 and Dec 6. Take care.

OMG i had know idea this group started meetings. Are we sent emails from this website or do i just need to check this forum for updates?

You just need to subscribe to it & you can also check the side or maybe when the person who started the chapter meetings will send you a email ,but if you look above at the other posts then you will see when the next meetings are.

Just wanted to give an update. Surgery went well, approx. 2 hours. I had to wait a long time in recovery until my room was ready. The pain is not bad at all. The dry mouth is pretty bad. Luckily I followed suggestions and brought dry mouth rinse. Hopefully I will be able to drive by the time of our next meeting.

So glad to hear you are doing well!
