support group

HELLO CALI FRIENDS....IM ABOUT 3 WEEKS FROM SURGERY AND SO EXCITED AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME, I AM LOOKING FOR A SUPPORT GROUP IN MY AREA...HOW DO I FIND ONE?...I NEED PEOPLE TO TALK TO AND KEEP ME GOING...THANKS MELISSA

What area do you live in?

Bec

I LIVE IN SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AREA

Hijack:

Bec, how tall are you and what's your bone structure like?  In November, my doctor recommended that I adjust my goal from 130 to 110.  I'm 5'1" and I have some doubts whether or not my bone structure is small enough to support that weight.

Thank you for the feedback.

Melissa,

I noticed that you are a patient of Dr. Takahashi.

Although you live in San Gabriel, you might want to attend the support group(s) at TMMC on the first three Mondays of the month as they are sponsored by your doctor's group and she is there on a regular basis.  I attend all three of the groups myself, although my doctor is Dr. Owens.

I also attend a support group in Hillside Village (also in Torrance) on the first Saturday of the month.  It is sponsored by Dr. Owens and is a small group, but it is open to the public.

If I can be of any further assistance, please PM me.

Yes i have been to the support groups there and they are very good, but it is so far a drive especially that time of day, i was hoping there was one close to me, i live in La puente...

How far is that from Monterey??

along ways hun,,,,,about 7-8 hours

I noticed most of the support groups near where you live have a cost to them. i went to a seminar in Arcadia....Post your city and you may find some people in your area that maybe you can start one. Good luck!!
