Anyone interested in meeting in person in South oc. I live in rsm, near mission viejo. I have 2 friends who have also had a VSG who would like to do a support group.

I was also thinking of using "the beck diet solution" by Judith Beck as a study.

Book is not necessary, lets just get the group off the ground first, but I do highly recommend it as does my surgeons office and the support group associated.. Unfortunately tonight did not go off. Let's try again Jul 2nd. I will find a location.

I did drive from Oceanside to Irvine last Thursday, I believed, based on the information here. You can imagine my disappointment when you cancelled this meeting at almost 6 p.m., which was 35 minutes before it was supposed to start. I had been on the road since 4:30, and was already there when I got your message on my phone.

There are also no fewer than 6 different seating sections outside Starbucks by the grassy area you mentioned. I hoped someone else also may have made the effort to go, and we could meet, but it was impossible to connect with anyone with the identifiers you provided.

I don't think I will spend the hours in traffic, and spend my time and gas again. I would advise anyone who does consider going on July 2 to get a firm confirmation that the next time it won't also be cancelled 35 minutes before it starts. There really has to be a higher level of responsibility if you really want to start a group.

I didn't cancel. I sat at Starbucks until 7:30 waiting.

I'm not sure where you got a cancellation notice. I apologies for the confusion.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
