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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
