New to the group

Good Evening all,  My name is Dennis.  i live on the East Side of Tucson.  I have to see my PCP for 6 months before i am able to have my surgery.  My surgeon is Dr Chiasson.  I will be having the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.  I am hoping to have my surgery around christmas.  I am looking for people in the area for support.  Is there anyone in this group that I can talk to and get some support.  Thank you so much and hope you all have a great week.
