Hi all,

I'm in the north Seattle area, and although I'm not much of a group oriented person, I love a good talk and chuckle :) Since the last post was in October should I assume the group is still getting together? Bothell isn't too far and I'd love to meet up. I haven't had surgery yet, but will in late December/early January. I'm 58, but young at heart (hehe).

Look forward to seeing you there! Yes we are still meeting. The only thing I works say is that parking can be a but tricky but there is a post office across the street that is closed on Sundays.

I'm wondering if anyone from the Seattle area is planning to attend the Obesity Action Coalition's annual conference in San Antonio TX this summer? I've made my reservations, now I'm just waiting for their registration to open. Looks like a great educational opportunity. http://www.ywmconvention.com/

@@Evie Wi,

I don't know anyone looking to go but it would be a great service to our community if you wanted to report back at one of the area meetings, specifically the one I run in Bothel upon your return. Give it some thought.

Hi all Seattle Sleevers! I plan on making the meet up in Bothell on Sunday. Had my sleeve surgery on Feb 19th and would enjoy meeting others in the area! See you there! How will I be able to identify the group? Or do you usually sit somewhere in particular?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
