I contacted PDXMAN in July and didn't get a reply. I am willing to work with a couple of people to make this happen. Who is in?

Melora - Where are you having yoru surgery next week? There are a few support groups in the Portland, Salem, Beaverton, Vancouver (WA) areas. We have talked about starting another one with the people in this group as well.

thoughts?

I am having my surgery at OHSU. I have attended a support group at OHSU. I would like to attend one that is not associated with the dept that is doing my surgery. Since I just found this website last week I am not sure what has been discussed but a simple meet up would be a place to start.

I am getting nervous. Went to my last class on Wed. and my endoscopy came OK. So now just waiting for the OK from my insurance and that can take 2 weeks. I want a support group close enough to go to so I can keep up the momentum. I think a library (as mentioned by another poster) may be a good idea and there is one in Cedar Mill area by Bales Thriftway.

Hey all....

Don't forget that Holiday Inns, Howard Johnsons and some of the hotels do have banquet rooms for meetings as well....

Just hoping to get some information on meetings from you. I am signed up for a monthly one through Kaiser but have yet been able to attend. I am north of Vancouver.

I'm in the Milwaukie area had the gastric bypass surgery on December 10th. Would love to participate in any activities out there for other WLS peeps pre or post op. I think it's important we support and mentor each other.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
