Are there any support groups in Bellevue/ Redmond area... even downtown is good with me. I am 6 months post op and have hit a snag in my banded life and really could use a support group... it tough to do it alone. I am in Redmond/Bellevue area, but would go downtown if need be.

I appreciate any info and thanks!

Hi. It is hard to do this alone. I am in the same boat. The only group I know of are the Group Health ones I attended. Hopefully some other folks will know of others. I have noticed our fellow WA banders are kinda quiet in this thread of chatting.

When did you get your band? What snag's are you hitting. Maybe I can help answer some questions ? If you want a email lap band buddy let me know.

Evergreen Hospital has a support group that's open to anyone. I've gone twice and enjoyed it:

Lap Band Support Group

4th Monday of the month, 6-8 p.m.

Evergreen Education Center, Room Tan 101

Dr. Lauter in Bellevue near Overlake also has a support group that meets twice a month and classes:

Bellevue Medical Park at 1600 116th Ave. NE, Suite 304, Bellevue, WA 98004. Our phone number is

(425) 453-7888

If you attend post back and let me know what you think...
