Any Bay Area California Sleevers?

[Cholula 8]

I'm just starting the process, anyone near Santa Cruz or Santa Clara? I will be going through Kaiser Santa Clara and would appreciate some local support.

I am not from the Bay, but am close-ish lol I am from Mendocino County, about 3-4 hours north of SF. I know someone that went to the Kaiser in Santa Clara.

I am sure there are tons of people on here from that area, but wanted to offer support anyhow.

Thanks, I've gotten no responses, so I was getting a little discouraged.

Maybe there aren't as many in this area as I thought?

I do appreciate your reply.

Hi Kate, I live in Santa Cruz and had my surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital (Blue Cross). My surgeon is out of San Francisco, but has offices all over including San Jose. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't work with Kaiser.

Where are you in your process?

I've only gone to the about orientation, will go to the surgeon orientation in about 3 weeks, I'm just starting.

Would love to talk with you if you're amenable to that.

I'm in Napa. I'm at goal, happy to help if you have questions. I self-paid so I'm no help with insurance issues, but other questions, fire away!

Hi Kate,

I'm in San Jose and went through Kaiser Fremont. Kaiser Bay Area has a Yahoo board for WLS too. I sometimes go to the Fremont Support Group. Not so much now that I am in maintenance and not gaining.
