I know about the support groups through some of the MD's and hospitals in the Valley but I am inquiring about any other support type activities. I had heard there are some folks that get together for lunch or dinner from time to time.

I have not had lapband and am due for VSG in a few weeks and am looking for a way to stay connected with others pursuing the same path. I have tried posting on OH but there does not seem to be much action on the AZ board and this one seems more lively so here I am.

Well, there are a number of us here in Arizona, but we haven't been too active lately. We did have a lunch get-together in January, but things have fallen off since then. I am in the area from September through May, but go north for the really hot weather.

Our most active member, WASaBubbleButt, just had a revision from band to sleeve, so you aren't alone around here. Welcome to the group. I have been banded for 8 months, and there are other who are old timers and some newbie too in the Phoenix area.

Hey I don't live in AZ but I go there often. My dad lives in Mesa. I am sure that WasA will answer you. She got her sleeve in the beginning of

June. You could try sending her a private message.

I will be there again in August. Is it too far for you to drive to Mesa? We could meet somewhere in the middle. There are several people in Mesa, and LoveRocks lives in Glendale. I love getting together with other WLS friends!
