support group in LA area
For those that are interested, there's two groups regularly meeting at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, CA. They are great resources for someone considering WLS or in the pre-and-post-op stages.
For those in the beginning or just-out from surgery stage, the Tuesday group is led by peer mentors who've had the surgery themselves. Lots of questions answered and good tips shared.
