Bay Area anyone? ????

Hi all I live in Concord, I'm pro op surgery next month im trying to find a support group anyone know of a good one?

Hi All You West Coasters,

I feel like a fish out of Water. I am flying from Connecticut in less than 3 weeks for DS surgery with Dr. Rabkin at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco. Still looking for a place, trying to do the AirBNB thing. I'm self pay. I think I'm having a meltdown. I'll be going it alone.

Anyone who can give me some encouragement or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi Everyone!

I'm not sure if this is okay to post here, so if not, please remove! However, I'd like people to know that there IS a Bay Area Support/Meetup Group that's open to everyone and held in downtown San Francisco. I'm the moderator and am a licensed therapist and wellness coach who has been specializing in WLS for 7+ years. My group has been going strong since 2011 and typically meets on the first Saturday of the month. Feel free to contact me through Bariatric Pal if you're interested!

I just requested to join you on the meetup app

Hi! I've been looking for a support group. I live in Pittsburg. Do you have to pay a copay to go to the groups? When is it held?

Hello Cherryw9,

I believe I have around 19 pounds more to lose. What surgery are you having done?

Gastric bypass - how about you? Are using Dr Hahn also? My dad had Gastric Bypass with Dr Hahn 7 years ago. He says Dr Hahn saved his life. My dad was 70 when he had the surgery.
