I just moved to Spokane from the Seattle area. I had my sleeve in 8/28/14. I've lost 78 lbs so far. I would love to go to a support group.

@@GenaH,

I will look around this weekend at home. I have a list of state wide support. They are a combination of hospitals, surgical centers, overeater's anonymous meetings and a few informal ones.

There is also a Washington State Bariatrics Group on Facebook:

Hi. I'm in the very early stages. Just a few weeks into my 6 months supervised weigh loss requirement. Is everyone else already post surgery? Or is the support group for someone anywhere in the process? I live north of Seattle in Lake Stevens, WA.

I wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in Arizona right now and will be having my surgery here. But at the beginning of 2016 we'll be moving to the Seattle area. So I thought it'd be fun to find some buddies in Washington and hopefully attend your support groups when I get up there.

I'm waiting for my surgery to be scheduled, but I imagine I'll be having my bypass in late August/early September.

Gina1209, see my post above about the Washington State Bariatric Facebook page. We just had a beach bonfire meetup that was very successful and other meet ups to come.

I'm here in Bellingham, grew up in Everett, and jumping through all the hoops to have the bypass surgery. It was supposed to be January 2017, but was just informed by the social worker at UWMC that I need to schedule my back surgery before the bariatric surgery. I feel like my "pause button" has just been pushed, and I'm reaching out because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being stuck in a rut...

Anyone know of any meetings in the Whatcom County area???

I have not gone to a support group, no. I can see where this would be helpful a little later down the line. I'm only two weeks out.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
