:w00t:Hey everybody, I am from Whidbey Island, WA and am looking for a support group or some people that can keep me motivated and I can help them. I feel like I am the only one from this area that has had this procedure done. The hardest part is getting started and I would love if we could get started, I know I'd never stop. Anyway, just let me know and we can get in touch. Thanks.

Hi, there is a support group at Virginia Mason at Federal Way. I know it is a little far from Whidbey Island but that is the only one i know about. You can get their newsletters sent to you if you don't want to drive out there.

There is a support group at the Northwest Weight Loss Surgery center in Everett, WA.

Hey, I am in Whidbey Island also. I just had my surgery on Aug. 31.

I go to a support group at Swedish in Seattle. I think that the support leader is great and they have been helpful. I beleive they usually have one meeting a month in the evening and they were trying to start one at lunch once a month as well. Good luck! :w00t:
