I'm here in the rural southeast corner of Washington state. WALLA WALLA to be exact...funny, kind of a foodie haven! :)

Anyone else from around here? Interested in connecting? Support groups in person you know of? Peace!

Good for you! I was cut open back in December. A hard but good road. Best wishes

Hello! I'm just going through all my pre-surgical requirements for the gastric sleeve and happy to see there are others from the Tri-Cites.

Is there a local (in person/face-to-face) support group in our area (within an hour of the TC)?

Thanks!

I don't know of any groups in the TC area. There is a monthly group in WALLA WALLA on the first Wednesday of the month. I can't recommend it however.

Which clinic are you using for your surgery?

I'll be going to OHSU for my surgery. Just waiting for the final insurance authorization and for my date to get scheduled. I've completed all the other requirements.

Thanks for the info on Walla Walla. Do you know where I can get more info about the group?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
