My insurance will not cover it, however......since I have a hiatal hernia, they will pay for the repair which covers a lot of the hospital charges. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App

I knew coffee was going to be my biggest struggle as well. I have always enjoyed 3 to 4 cups of Joe in the AM. I actually started weaning myself off the caffeine about 3 weeks ago. I am now down to 1 cup a day of half caffinated coffee. My surgery is May 3rd. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I am looking at starting a F2F local support group for the Phoenix area. My name is Corrinna and I reside in Avondale. I will be sleeved on May 3rd. If you are interested in joining a long term support group,please respond with your Name, location, and whether you are pre-op or post-op, and if you would prefer a weekly or monthly meeting. If I can get at least 4 members to join, I will start looking into a physical location that we can meet. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App

Has the Phoenix, AZ f2f support group been created? I sure would like to join. I am in Avondale. There seems to be quite a few of us within the West side of Phoenix. I would love to open a group for all the Phoenix area. I see the posts on here are quite old. I would not mind even hosting a group. Is there anyone else who would be interested in joining? I have not been sleeved yet, my tentative date is May 3rd and I will definately need the f2f support. I would like to try to make a weekly group if it does not exist yet.
