Thanks Larra. Give me the information for the San Francisco meeting and I'll see what I can do.  Thanks again.

Toasty, I didn't want you to think that I forgot about you. The San Jose group leader has emailed the members of the group to determine how much interest there is in a December meeting. It's difficult this time of year, with a small group and everyone being so busy. As soon as I get the final word from her, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, and I know the location is hard for you, but there will be a meeting of the big group in San Francisco this Wednesday evening, and if you could possibly make it there, you would get to hear Dr. Rabkin's presentation where he discusses all the different surgical options, and also get to meet some great people, so do keep this meeting in mind.

It takes a minute because the next step is "usually" the Orientation which they don't have that often.  I know back in the stone age when I had my surgery my referral was sent in October but the next orientation wasn't held until December.  Not sure how often they are doing it now.

I live in Fontana...had my gastric sleeve over 3 years ago. I went through the Kaiser Options classes and had my surgery in West LA. Message me if you have any questions about my experience :)
