In the south bay looking for a fellow sleever to be buddies with.

Im in San Jose and hoping to have surgery in December

I'm in the south bay and had surgery in April. When is your surgery?

Michelle..where did ou have surgery and who was the surgeon?

My surgeon was Dr. Pamela Foster of Millls-Penn Hospital in Burlingame/Palo Alto Medical Foundation. My surgery was at El Camino Hospital, not far from where I live. I would highly recommend both, although Dr. Foster is a pretty tough cookie. If you need someone warm and fuzzy, it's not her. She did a great job on the surgery, though, and El Camino has a great surgery education program.

Im going to have mine at good sam with dr nguyen

That's great, I'm sure it will go very well!

Well hey there @@aprinjuly and @@MichelleInCA!! I just had my surgery last Monday with Dr. Zare at Good Sam. So far I am doing good! We should all meet up some time and start our own little support group. I'm not a big fan of this website as far as communication, so private message me if you want to exchange e-mail or phone numbers :-)

Sounds great.

I know this is an old thread...but do any of you south bay sleevers know of support groups in the San Jose area?? I am pre-op (working on 17 lbs. before surgery). I am having my surgery at Kaiser Fremont but going up there for a support group-which meets on a Friday evening (ugh!)- isn't going to work for me. Thanks in advance!

I'm in San Francisco and had sleeve surgery two years ago. Happy to help with questions, answers, and support.
