Washington State - Kitsap Peninsula

[Michelle Rynsai 84]

Hi Sleevers!

My name is Michelle, I'm sleeved as of March 17, 2015

And I've not been able to find any kind of support groups over here on the Kitsap Peninsula (Port Orchard, Bremerton, Silverdale, Gig Harbor, Belfair, etc) so I figured I would start a topic and maybe start arranging / hosting a support group for those of us over here.

This is mainly a military area, and support is really important, which is why I want to do this.

So if you're over here and are interested in joining a new support group, and this is brand new as I said I will be newly sleeved, then feel free to reply or message me if you're interested.

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hello Michelle,

I live in Kitsap County and will be sleeved April 8th. I would love to get together sometime after your surgery to check in. I have looked around for support groups in this area, THERE ARE NONE lol! Glad I found you on here:)

Hi Yett98311

Congrats!!!

Where are you getting your sleeve done at?

I'm going through NWWLS in Everett, Dr. Chock is doing mine and she's absolutely AWESOME!

Got the call from my dr's office this morning, I'm on the schedule for 7:15am on Wednesday *happy dance*

OFFICIAL SLEEVER NOW!!!

Had a great first day, lots of fluids, got up and did some laps around the nurse's station, had some friends and family come visit. Going home in a few hours. :-)

Hello! I am just starting the process but I have been looking around and there are not any support groups anywhere to be found! How are you doing with your sleeve? I live in Graham but I work in Gig Harbor and going to my first consultation on 1-6-16 and hoping to get this all started!

Hi Michelle! I am considering NWWLS for my surgery, so I'm glad to hear you liked Dr. Chock. Wishing you all the best on your progress!

I was sleeved on Wednesday by Dr. Michelson at NWWLS. I am sore, but I suspect tomorrow will feel better.
