My surgery date is Wednesday, July 14 (day after tomorrow!!) I am SO jazzed at this point!

I'm extremely interested in getting in touch with other sleevers from the Tri-Cities area, Walla Walla, and Prosser. Maybe even as far as Yakima. I'd absolutely love to find or start a support group, especially one that meets in person on a regular basis. I have a feeling that I am going to need it, because so far the only people who I have told about the surgery have reacted negatively, except my best friend (who has graciously agreed to house-sit for me while my husband and I are gone), and of course my husband, who is behind this whole-heartedly, and has been exceptionally supportive and enthusiastic. Even my mother is still dubious.

So I desperately need to find people who UNDERSTAND. Please, please, please contact me. I'll be checking the forum while I'm gone, so I'll see any responses, which are forwarded to my email address. If you want to correspond first, send me a private message with an email address and I'll respond in kind.

Wish me luck, people, and I hope to hear from a few people, at least. I know you're out there! :thumbup1:

Hello,

You got sleeved on my Birthday last year!!

How is it going?

I am in Custer WA up near the Canadian Border.

About 20 miles North of Bellingham.

I am trying to get answers on getting financing or insurance help.

Hopefully, one day soon I will join the losers!!

Have a great day

Helen
