Hello, I am here in Victorville and would be interested In joining a local support group. My surgery was 2-6-13 and I am in maintenance but have never been able to attend ours because my surgeons is in San Bernardino. How would this work and who would run it?

We would be willing to co host a local support group or just simply meet somewhere, converse via email. This is all very new to us and we only know of one support group in the High Desert and the date and time is hard for us to attend. Please feel free to call at 760-685-4961 or email keithsheryl@charter.net to discuss more. When calling please leave a message if I don't answer. Look forward from hearing from you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
