I'm in the same place you are. I actually can quite easily drop weight quickly in a short period of time... usually. Struggling through this one. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Yes!

We have a group that meets the third Wednesday of every month from 6-8 pm in San Jose in the theater building of Hoover Middle School. You would be very welcome to join us, and your support person is welcome as well. The next meeting will be on June 20.

I will send you more info in a pm.

hello all. im on the journey to lose 42lbs. im going to get the sleeve.

I had to loose 28lbs before my surgery.  I know how hard it is to loose the initial pre-op weight. I finally had to get real with myself and decide how bad I wanted to have the surgery.  When I finally set my mind to it I was able to get the weight off in a few months.  I actually joined weigh****chers and started walking at lest 3 to 5 miles day.  I can honestly say I am so glad that I made the lifestyle change.  

Remember surgery is only a tool it doesn't fix our brains.   Good luck on your journey & I hope you are able to get your weight off. 

The meetings are always the third Wednesday of the month, so June's meeting will be June 20, 6-8 pm. Sounds like you won't need help finding the place! We are always somewhere in the Theater Building, though not always in the same room. But once you get there, you'll find the rest of the gang.
      If you have any questions about the DS, please feel free to ask - I'm researched thoroughly before my surgery and I'm over 6 years post-op now.
