Hi Dawn, I am in Tucson. Monash did my RnY surgery on August 4. There is a support group at St Joseph's once a month, I think Monash's website may have the date and times. If not, call St Joe's and ask them. There is another one on the Northwest side. I went to the St Joe's group before my surgery and it was almost all lap band folks, only two RnY's out of about 30 people. I haven't been since my surgery, due to some complications, but I plan on going again. My sister had an open bypass two years ago with Schwartz and she has been my best resource and help during this time. I wouldn't have made it without her. Go to the support group meetings and put yourself out there to meet people who've already had the surgery. Most of them are more than happy to help. This forum is a good resource, too. I haven't signed in yet in the Arizona forum, but that is next. Good Luck!
