I'd like to find one too - I'm in Walla Walla. Pre-op but know I'll need support. Post if you've found or made a community.

Hey @@justmona and @@Eli Alexander, you all may consider looking at the Washington State Bariatrics Facebook Page to find others in your area.

Justmona, any luck? My husband and I had rny on June 19th and we live in West Richland. We aren't having any luck finding a support group either.

While I no longer live in WA, I would suggest joining the FB page mentioned earlier. It's been a wonderful resource! I lived in Pullman and as there were no support groups on the Palouse a small group of us would meet on our own. You might want to consider starting your own group. We discussed challenges, goals, accomplishments, etc. I miss the old group as I'm now in the process of finding a new one out of state.

I'm tying to use this link and it appears to be broken. Is the FB group still active?

Hey, came across the tri-cities post and saw this, how'd your surgery go? I just had mine on 11/8, so this is all new! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
