If you click the drop down menu under Forums and highlight Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forum, you'll see Gastric Sleeve support groups.... then under go to Local support groups...there they have lots of people talking by where they live. I found a lot of people from Washington (where I live) You can probably find Bay area folks too

My husband would like to get training to be a mentor. He had the gastric sleeve in September. Since December 2013, he has lost 100 lbs. He has another 100 to go. Do you know where or how to get training, we live in the Sacramento area.

East Bay (WC)!! I am young n fun n looking for some compadres to be on this journey with. I find it absolutely unacceptable that there is only ONE WLS SUPPORT GROUP in the area, and it's on a Tuesday morning in Concord- not really great for people that are employed!!

I have a private meeting space in a public building that we could use for free to meet- I just need some peeps! I have had a lot of trouble locating "bay area" support groups on this website. Also, the Bay Area is HUGE and we probably need separate EB, NB, SB, and SF groups.

Please send me a message if anyone is interested in getting something going. Even just 2 people can get together for exercise, support, shopping, whatever! It would be so amazing to have a friend/person who understands! And who doesn't need every single thing about your new lifestyle explained... I can organize/host in WC.

@@ChavaBling I usually do the Lafayette Reservoir on Sunday's if you'd like to join! Trying to find EB people to join in!

I'm training for a 10k walk and usually do walks every weekend. I'd love to get together with people and walk. I'm not the fastest person but I can go miles and miles.

[polavsg 11]

Would love to join some time!

[ChavaBling 145]

@@polavsg I am going to send you the same DM I sent @@bpbqueen last week- we are actively trying to put a meet-up together! The reservoir is great! We were actually talking about some ways to maybe exercise WHILE we support one another & gab it up!

Hi there, seems like you folks are well on your journey to success! I'm still on the fence about whether to have the surgery. Would love to find a meeting and/or chat with some folks. Did you find a mutal meeting place? (I can't do Sunday mornings, sorry!)

Thanks,

Nancy

Hi All

I'm in Oakland. Had done major regain after 2 hip surgeries. Having a hard time getting my mind in the right direction to get back to the basics. I do have a support group I could go to but I'm too embarrassed.
