Hi Coleen,
If you're open to making the trek out to San Francisco, you are welcome to attend my group! (SF WLS Support Group). I am a licensed therapist who specializes in bariatrics and I moderate a small and fun group on the first Saturday of each month in downtown SF. Groups are free and open to everyone. Also, the Powell BART station is right outside the building where groups are held.
For more info you can check out:

Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
