Hey Everyone,

I have been lurking on here for the past month, OMG....the information on here is so aweseome, it has helped me decide on the sleeve and the doctor, I'm self pay so I'm heading to Mexical and have already been scheduled, Nerves are sure going all over the place.

I am looking for a support group located around Tacoma, Washington, in hopes to help with the emotional side of things, please let me know if anyone knows anything.

Wendy

Welcome and congrats on getting your date ! ! !

I'm not familiar with your location, but I found a couple of support groups for bariatric patients at the local hospitals that perform bariatric surgery. The meetings were open to any and all patients regardless of where their surgery was performed.

Best wishes, and keep us updated on your progress.

I know Edmonds is too far north for you to travel regularly, but maybe if you contacted Melanie she would have some referrals for you:
