Hi . . I was just reading and saw that you were from Bakersfield, so am I. I had my surgery done in Fresno. So how are you doing thus far? Are you attending a support group. I'm trying to find one in this area.

I go to the support group at Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield, on Old River Road. It meets the first Tuesday of each month at 5:45 pm to 7:00pm

That's great! I was considering driving to Fresno for our support meetings there, but it's a long trip. Do you know if it's opened to all or just to Bakersfield banners or do you know who I need to contact? What area of the hospital can I find the Tuesday meeting. I'm doing great but I feel I need a little help at times to continue making those great food choices. Thanks for your help!
