I am knew to this and I have Kaiser San Diego and was wondering if anyone was around San Diego and can refer me to some support groups around this area. I'm still in my classes at Kaiser so my surgery should be around February 2015.

I don't know if you found any thing, but I am in San Diego. I am also the admin for the FB page for Pacific Bariatric and I am working on getting Kaiser to change their support group time so more people can go.

The 6month process feels long but let me tell you it is completely worth it!! The education and classes help a lot! Also get connected and build a good support.

      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.
