Topic: RE: SoCal Support Group?

I live in Long Beach.  If you find a local group, please let me know.  Right now I'm going to a support group through my surgeon's office in Newport Beach.  I thought about going to OA on Monday nights because it specializes in Bariatric Surgery, but haven't done it yet.  I'm kinda iffy about the whole 12 steps thing.

Topic: RE: Anyone had to do a 6 month supervised weight managment .

My insurance required 6 months of supervised weight loss.  The bariatric program I went through has a dietician on staff, so I just met with her for 6 months.  I didn't have to go anywhere special.

I'm in San Diego and I'm restarting my workout plan since I've had a 20lb regain in the past 2 years.  I'd love a workout buddy.  What part of SD are you moving to?

Topic: SoCal Support Group?

Hiya!

Can anyone recommend a local WLS support group close to Long Beach?   There used to be the Long Beach Coffee gang - but I don't see anyone active on the board anymore.  If you are interested, perhaps a new group could be established?  

Have a great day!

Topic: Celebrating 16 Years Today

ObesityHelp Staff are celebrating today and we would like for you to join us. 

It was 16 years ago that our founder, Eric Klein, launched ObesityHelp.com.  From January 9, 1998 through today, his mission has always been to the education, sharing of information and the support of our 700,000 members.  Eric was a pioneer when he created ObesityHelp.  ObesityHelp was created before Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.  Eric had a vision long before these sites were thought of. 
The journey of ObesityHelp through the past 16 years has been rewarding for those of us that support Eric's mission.  ObesityHelp was created, and still remains, dedicated to you, our members. 

Please share what ObesityHelp has meant to you by replying to this post.
