Finding a support group
I am working towards having gastric bypass surgery, and would like to find a support group to attend. However, I work Monday through Friday, 1 pm till 9 pm, and my surgeon's support groups only meet during the week in the evening. Does anyone know of a support group that meets in the mornings during the week or on weekends? I'm in the San Fernando Valley. Thanks!
Hi,
I am not sure if they are still meeting, but there is a support group in Santa Clarita Valley. PM me if you would like more info...
Good luck to you!!!

Thank you! Yes, I would like more information. It's so funny that in a place like L.A., there are no groups that meet on days or weekends! When I started searching, I found several that meet in the San Francisco area and in Sacramento -- which, of course, do me no good!
I just want to have all the support I can in place before have the surgery -- I'm currently waiting, and hoping, for insurance approval.
Again, thank you so much!

We have a Saturday meeting this weekend in Rosamond, just in case you are interested. It's a bit far for you maybe but you are very welcome. Let me know if you need more info.
