Susie P. 8 Posted April 1, 2015 I am waiying to hear back from my insurance company for approval. Completed the pre-op requirements. I live in Snohomish. Wishing you the best with your insurance company - where are you hoping to have your surgery done. So fun to "meet" another Snohomish member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MisforMimi 760 Posted April 1, 2015 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!
