slikchik10 85 Posted January 2, 2015 Hey Sherry....I know it's been a couple of months but what are the Kaiser Fontana times coming up? My schedule during Nov. & Dec. has really gone wacky and I'm still trying to see when I can start attending a group again. Is the Ontario group mostly newbies? Hope your holiday was great.

Annette Hi Annette~ Happy New Year! Good to hear from you! Been missing you at Group... Fontana Evening Post-Op Groups for Jan are Tu 1/6, 6pm; Wed 1/21, 6pm; and Th 1/29, 6pm. Kai hasn't put out an official 2015 schedule yet and not sure if any of these will be a Nutrition group. Hope you can make one of these at least. Yes, Ontario is mostly pre-ops and a few new-ops. Still struggling to get more post-ops. Jan 10 BariatricPal ONT/Chino Group announcement post follows here. Sherry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
