Question:
Pre-op & looking for support groups in Los Angeles

Specifically in San Fernando Valley, but willing to trek further if there is none in LA.    — Christine A. (posted on June 12, 2001)

I am not sure how far Fountain Valley is from you but My surgeons office runs a support group. Dr. Peter LePort with Lite Dimensions. Hope this helps

Hi Christine, Spectrim has a support group for Dr. Clayton at Brotman Medical in Culver City. It's held the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It's facilitated by Dr. Andrews, a psychologist who wrote a book on Weight Loss Surgery. Usually about 40 people attend and it's sharing and questions and answers. Let me know if you want more info. Judy

there is a general LA support groupand we meet twice a month. It doesn't matter where your surgery was performed or if you are a pre-op or just plain interested in WLS. Everybody is welcome. Go to http://communities.msn.com/LAWLSMAG for more details. Matthew
