I don't live in socal but I'm happy to share advice however and whenever I can. I had my surgery at the end of January 09 so I'm about 8 months out. I've had decent results, no major complications, (unless you count jumping over hurdles from the insurance company), and have lost 35lbs so far. I'm far from my goal and haven't experienced constant weightloss each week like some folks, but it's not uncommon. Anyway, I'm not an expert and I don't play one on tv, but I'm happy to share my experience and answer any questions. This is such a big deal. Congrats on even making the decision to go on this journey!

Glad to help too. I am only 6 weeks post op with one fill

Thank you so much! If I have any questions I will let you know.

Hi Lauren,

Sure, I would love to be your buddy. I am in Monrovia and looking for support groups in the area. Are you close by??
