I'm in the south bay and had surgery in April. When is your surgery?

Michelle..where did ou have surgery and who was the surgeon?

[MichelleInCA 22]

My surgeon was Dr. Pamela Foster of Millls-Penn Hospital in Burlingame/Palo Alto Medical Foundation. My surgery was at El Camino Hospital, not far from where I live. I would highly recommend both, although Dr. Foster is a pretty tough cookie. If you need someone warm and fuzzy, it's not her. She did a great job on the surgery, though, and El Camino has a great surgery education program.

That's great, I'm sure it will go very well!

Well hey there @@aprinjuly and @@MichelleInCA!! I just had my surgery last Monday with Dr. Zare at Good Sam. So far I am doing good! We should all meet up some time and start our own little support group. I'm not a big fan of this website as far as communication, so private message me if you want to exchange e-mail or phone numbers :-)

I know this is an old thread...but do any of you south bay sleevers know of support groups in the San Jose area?? I am pre-op (working on 17 lbs. before surgery). I am having my surgery at Kaiser Fremont but going up there for a support group-which meets on a Friday evening (ugh!)- isn't going to work for me. Thanks in advance!

I'm in San Francisco and had sleeve surgery two years ago. Happy to help with questions, answers, and support.
