Hi I'm 6 months banded and struggling a little. I recently just moved and need a little support. If you live near Ft. Lewis let me know bc I'm new to the area and would love to know where support groups are.

Hello, I live in the area. I live near Bremerton, Wa. I am new and have only been banded for about two months.

Hello Hope 2 do you know any support groups in the area? bc the ones I have ran across on base are geared more toward gastric by pass and the sleeve surgery.

Hi, I live in Bremerton as well, the surgery facility that I will be banded at has support groups, but it is in Everett, it's far, but it's a great place. You can look them up at nwwls.com I hope to be banded next Monty. I have my final nutrition appointment this coming Tuesday.

I know Dr. Neal has some support groups at his office. I will give you the number and you can call. They are very helpful and can likely tell you where other support groups are. The number is 412-3120 or you can go to the web site www.pacsurgical.com. They have some listed. If you email them they get back to you pretty fast. I am new but would like to be support too. Perhaps we can continue to encourage each other. We are retired military.

There are support groups at the Naval Hospital in Bremerton. I don't go but a friend of mine does and if you don't have a military pass you have to make friends with someone who does and they and drive inside the gate. I go to the support groups in Seattle. Twice a month I take the ferry over it is worth the trip. There is a bariatric unit at Harrison hospital and they may know of support groups in Bremerton. I guess I should call too. Banded 2 19 and have lost 32.5 pounds.
