The Washington State WLS Support Group is now holding meetings on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.

Next meetings: Sundays March 1st and 15th at 3PM
The Den Coffeehouse & Cafe
10415 Beardslee Blvd., Bothell, WA 98011
425-892-8954
These are newly forming meetings and are general support but will be opening to more social and fitness activities as the weather returns. These meetings are great for people who had surgery out of state or country and who are looking for more face-to-face support. All levels and surgeries welcome. Spread the word to people that may be interested in attending. Hosts: Kay Feather & Michelle Lotus, kayfeather304@gmail.com, mountingwings@gmail.com

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!
