Sequim, Pt Angeles, and Olympic Peninsula Support Group Formed



Recommended Posts

I am happy to advise everyone that an new Support Group has been formed in Sequim, Washington. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The church is located at 525 No. 5th Avenue. The meeting is held in the basement of the church hall. Use the down ramp on the south side of the building or enter through the church hall, find the down stairs and go through the double doors and through the common room to the room at the far right. Everyone is welcome from anywhere. Visitors to the area, please come.

Chuck. Thank you for this info. It is EXACTLY what I need. My surgery date is 3/03 with Dr Hunter @ Virginia Mason. I will calendar the support meetings and plan to attend. How has attendance been?

Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan,

Most happy that you found our announcement. Congrats on your March 3 surgery date, I am sure all will go well.:w00t:

You might come to our February 11th support group meeting. I found it helpful to attend support group meetings before surgery to get the scoop on what to expect, how to get through the presurgery diet, etc.

We had 12 at our last meeting and that number has been a pretty steady average.

To get the directions to the church, go to penlapband.blogspot.com

I look forward to meeting you,

Chuck

Do you have a list of recommended band fill locations?

I tried to call your phone number but it is out of order.

I'm looking for the closest fill to Sequim. Thanks

      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. 🤞
