Washington State Usa

[GenaH 10]

I just moved to Spokane from the Seattle area. I had my sleeve in 8/28/14. I've lost 78 lbs so far. I would love to go to a support group.

@@GenaH,

I will look around this weekend at home. I have a list of state wide support. They are a combination of hospitals, surgical centers, overeater's anonymous meetings and a few informal ones.

There is also a Washington State Bariatrics Group on Facebook:

Hi. I'm in the very early stages. Just a few weeks into my 6 months supervised weigh loss requirement. Is everyone else already post surgery? Or is the support group for someone anywhere in the process? I live north of Seattle in Lake Stevens, WA.

I wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in Arizona right now and will be having my surgery here. But at the beginning of 2016 we'll be moving to the Seattle area. So I thought it'd be fun to find some buddies in Washington and hopefully attend your support groups when I get up there.

I'm waiting for my surgery to be scheduled, but I imagine I'll be having my bypass in late August/early September.

Gina1209, see my post above about the Washington State Bariatric Facebook page. We just had a beach bonfire meetup that was very successful and other meet ups to come.

I'm here in Bellingham, grew up in Everett, and jumping through all the hoops to have the bypass surgery. It was supposed to be January 2017, but was just informed by the social worker at UWMC that I need to schedule my back surgery before the bariatric surgery. I feel like my "pause button" has just been pushed, and I'm reaching out because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being stuck in a rut...

Anyone know of any meetings in the Whatcom County area???

Do you guys go to support groups?

I have not gone to a support group, no. I can see where this would be helpful a little later down the line. I'm only two weeks out.
