BrandNewDawn Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 AshleyMarie, I found them on LBT. Look under the support group section, then California. They are meeting on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 am at the library in Mission Valley by the IKEA. I cannot attend on Wednesday (not right now anyway) mornings. Maybe in the fall when my kids are back in school if they are still meeting. I will have to check back in September. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, its such a small world that I probably know you already! Hi there, well I live in Norwalk right by Cerritos College and actually work in Cerritos. Small world huh??? I had actually followed your post mostly cause of your "about me" post you wrote. I related so much to what you wrote and it hit home with me in many ways. My insurance denied my band here. My BMI was on the lower side (34) and I didn't have any "complications" due to my weight. That's how I ended up @ OCC paying it on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we all plan a "get together" once a month somewhere in the area and get to know and support each other! I don't mind a little drive, so let's figure out where most of the So Cal banders live and get together. I cannot do Sundays, but Saturdays are fine. What do you all think?
