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!

Hey Sherry....I know it's been a couple of months but what are the Kaiser Fontana times coming up? My schedule during Nov. & Dec. has really gone wacky and I'm still trying to see when I can start attending a group again. Is the Ontario group mostly newbies? Hope your holiday was great.

Annette

Hi Annette~

Happy New Year! Good to hear from you! Been missing you at Group...

Fontana Evening Post-Op Groups for Jan are Tu 1/6, 6pm; Wed 1/21, 6pm; and Th 1/29, 6pm. Kai hasn't put out an official 2015 schedule yet and not sure if any of these will be a Nutrition group. Hope you can make one of these at least. Yes, Ontario is mostly pre-ops and a few new-ops. Still struggling to get more post-ops. Jan 10 BariatricPal ONT/Chino Group announcement post follows here.

SPECIAL REMINDER: We are NOT meeting the FIRST SATURDAY this month (Jan 3) because of the holidays. Group is January 10.

Unfortunately, Ontario/Chino Chapter's final group meeting will be Saturday, February 7, 2015. Many thanks and much appreciation to the couple of BariPal members who have faithfully and consistently showed up each month to support our efforts to grow our group. Wishing continued success to all...

Hi Susan,

Personal circumstances. I'm sad too. Who knows--maybe someone will have interest in creating a new Local Chapter in our area.

How was the 5K? You didn't get rained out, did you?

Just a suggestion I don't have the time , but maybe someone can take over for you while you are dealing with whatever like I said just a suggestion.
