If you live anywhere from north seattle to kirkland although way north to stanwood and marysville meet here! Just a general area, anyone is welcome regardless!

I would like to meet some people who live near me to meet up in Lynnwood, Kirkland, Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Edmonds, Bothell, Woodinville, etc. !

I am in Redmond, but on the Kirkland side, and I am looking for some "face to face" friends in the lap band community! Do you know of any local live support groups? I heard there was one that meets at Evergreen, but haven't yet checked them out.

I am new to the band lifestyle, was just banded last Wednesday. So far everything is going great...recovery is going well overall, and I am not yet hungry!

I am up for coffee etc anytime!

I didn't know there was a support group that meets at evergreen!!

I'm tentatively getting banded at st. francis, where did you get banded?

Private message me if you'd like to make a time to meet for coffee. How are you doing? Are you still in pain? Big change isn't it?

I'm so nervous!

Hi,

I just signed on here. I live in the Lake Stevens area.... east Everett. Seeing Dr. Hunter in Fed Way because I had trouble finding a doc who would take Medicare and Medicare mandates going to a "Center of Excellence" designated doctor/facility. I hope to have my surgery this month or next (at Virginia Mason in Seattle). I'm waiting for medical records to be transferred from OK, then reviewed to see if I need any other consults/test before proceeding with setting a surgery date. I need to find support locally... support group, face-to-face meeting, etc.:rolleyes:

:smile2:I would like to join a lap band support group. I live in Shoreline, so anything within a 10 to 15 mile radius would be great. Thanks.

      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! 😞
