Hi Folks,

I have one friend in the SF Bay area and we were thinking of starting a support Group. Anyone interested in joining us? Please reach out to me.

Some Ideas that I have:

- Walking / hiking group

- Support meetings

- Phone chains

@@MissAKY - there. I work in Redwood City and would be willing to meet you if you need some help after work anytime. I am six months out from surgery and I have surgery at good Samaritan in San Jose.

OMG - that's awesome! I work in San Mateo (for now)! How did you feel 2 weeks post op? I am supposed to fly 2 weeks, 1 day after surgery. I am flying to DC with a layover in Chicago. So it won't be too long of a flight. This all liquid diet is starting to wear on me. I'm pretty excited about and ready for the surgery party to be over.

Can't make Saturday. But please keep posting meetings. As the weather gets better also. The drive from below Santa Cruz will be better. I would love to find a nice group to share!

New to the site. Did you all start a group in the Bay Area? If not, for the last 17 years I've been leading a support group in the East Bay. We now meet at the Alameda Hospital on the 3rd Saturday of the month. www.eastbaybariatric.org.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
