I am knew to this and I have Kaiser San Diego and was wondering if anyone was around San Diego and can refer me to some support groups around this area. I'm still in my classes at Kaiser so my surgery should be around February 2015.

I don't know if you found any thing, but I am in San Diego. I am also the admin for the FB page for Pacific Bariatric and I am working on getting Kaiser to change their support group time so more people can go.

The 6month process feels long but let me tell you it is completely worth it!! The education and classes help a lot! Also get connected and build a good support.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
