Support Group in Redmond/Bellevue



Recommended Posts

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...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
