Support Group in Redmond/Bellevue



Recommended Posts

Are there any support groups in Bellevue/ Redmond area... even downtown is good with me. I am 6 months post op and have hit a snag in my banded life and really could use a support group... it tough to do it alone. I am in Redmond/Bellevue area, but would go downtown if need be.

I appreciate any info and thanks!

Hi. It is hard to do this alone. I am in the same boat. The only group I know of are the Group Health ones I attended. Hopefully some other folks will know of others. I have noticed our fellow WA banders are kinda quiet in this thread of chatting.

When did you get your band? What snag's are you hitting. Maybe I can help answer some questions ? If you want a email lap band buddy let me know.

Evergreen Hospital has a support group that's open to anyone. I've gone twice and enjoyed it:

Lap Band Support Group

4th Monday of the month, 6-8 p.m.

Evergreen Education Center, Room Tan 101

Dr. Lauter in Bellevue near Overlake also has a support group that meets twice a month and classes:

Bellevue Medical Park at 1600 116th Ave. NE, Suite 304, Bellevue, WA 98004. Our phone number is
(425) 453-7888

If you attend post back and let me know what you think...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
