Anyone Here In Washington?

[Daydra 345]

I was sleeved at Puget Sound Surgical Center in Edmonds.

I live in Capitol Hill M-F and Port Orchard on the weekends.

It would be cool to have some kind of gathering!

This is the first time I've seen Kitsap here! I grew up in Port Orchard and am now in Silverdale. Usually when I tell someone I'm from Kitsap (oh, like the nurse at NWWLS during my 1 mo. post op...), they ask me where that is and then say something ridiculous like "Oh, that's what's on the other side of the bridge!" or "Is that where the ferry goes? I've never been over there." Nothing to say but wow...

Phoenix (aka Mrs Fiddleman!) - I would love it i we could get together and I really appreciate you offering to host. If you could try again say early October I suspect alot more people could make it.

I don't know if people are interested.... but my plastics are scheduled for Oct 14. As a pre-plastics patient I would be very willing to talk to people about that.

Good luck to you! My husband and I are sleeved and live in the south end!

Hi Lorrieanne1, where were you and your husband sleeved? I am a little nervous, getting ready to pay my deposit and set my date. My husband is a big support and behind me 100%.

Sleeved at PSSC in Edmonds - Dr. Landerholm. They were wonderful to work with. I'm so happy you have a good support system because it is so very important! I'm sure it will all go well!

Crowd-sourcing: Hey Everyone, Kay Feather aka primal and I started a WLS support group out of what we thought was a real need in the community for face-to-face support and the opportunity to put faces to names, profile pics and avatars. It has met a few times on the Northend/Bothell area. The attendance has been hit-or miss since its inception last November. I'm wanting to throw out there a couple of questions and hoping to get some responses. Do you need face-to-face support beyond what is offered at your care facility? What would increase or decrease the chance of you attending? If you like the idea of a meet-up in what forum (cafe, church, restaurant etc), location (north, south, east, central), what topics would you like to see addressed or appeals most? Would you be interested in events like hikes or races? Or are you happy with on-line support and support from your surgery facility's . Thanks everyone for your feedback in advance!
