Kmasden 14 Posted February 12, 2013 Anyone in Los Angeles need a sleeve buddy? Just sleeved 16 days ago in Mexico. Need a friend / mentor cause I was given no after care. You can feel free to message me any time, I was sleeved almost four months ago,, but spent much time self paying for band fills prior to that, so am familiar with both sides of the coin! For the person above that inquired as to how long process was, I didn't have to go through any since I was a Lapland fail with a previous doc and had been seeing doc Martin for that for over a year...

kimkai75 59 Posted February 15, 2013 Shout out to my Options Program sis & bros. Finshed Options on Jan 30th. Have not met surgeon yet but I will be sleeved at Kaiser South Bay. PITFALL: Letter from Options RN stating mu vitimin D is still low and I need to repeat my labs in 6 weeks. I'm assuming that I won't meet the surgeon until my vitimin D is normal.

starfish108 15 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi, Sorry if I am reposting, but this forum is not very intuitive. I am looking for monthly support groups in the Bay Area, CA? Prefer the South Bay, Mountain View or Palo Alto or Fremont. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
