L.A. support groups???

Hey Girl! I remember you from one of our DS support group lunches when you came with your mom. You were only a few days out from your sleeve surgery and I was so impressed with how you were already up and out joining us for lunch.
We share some similarities in our surgeries since all DSers also have a sleeve. You are always welcome to join us anytime.
I post announcements on the DS board but I also send out emails to my list. If you would like to join us just look for announcements of SCADS (So. Cal. Area DSers) meetings. Also, I can put you on my email list if you PM me your email address.
The ones at TMMC are sponsored by Drs. Takahashi, Baghai, et al, but are open to the public. There is a general bariatrics group, an "eating normal" group that is new, and a Lap Band group, these groups take up the first three Monday evening of the month, at different times.
The one at Hillside Village is sponsored by Dr. Owens but, again, is open to the public. Although, since it is in a smaller office, it's a good idea to call the moderating counselor. It's usually on the first Saturday of the month, in the afternoon at 3:00.
If you are interested, send me an PM. If it is convenient for you, we would love to have you at any of our groups.
