I know there is a support group in Portland, but I can't find the schedule. It used to meet monthly at Good Sam. I'd like to go. I am 3 years out from RNY, 15lbs under goal. Does anyone know the date, time, address, and where I can find the schedule online?

It's odd the schedule isn't on the website. Here's the 2015 schedule -- starting this month, they're in the Trustee Board Room on the 3rd floor of the main hospital, above the main lobby. I haven't been to one yet because they (sadly) go past my bedtime, but after surgery, I'm going to see if my boss will let me stay late one day a month to come in late the day after the meetings. Maybe I'll see you there!

Thank you! I'm going to try and be there for the May meeting. Please say hi if you see me. I'm easy to spot. I'm 4'10", 99lbs, short brown hair.

Great! I might not be at the May meeting since my surgery is 5/4 and my husband's is 5/11, but I hope we'll make future ones.

I did wind up going to the meeting last week. Were you there by chance? It was my first one. I went at the suggestion of the nutritionist, and I found it really helpful. I may try to rearrange my work schedule to be able to go to them monthly.

Ah, then I think I know who you were! I'm sorry I didn't remember to say hi. I was on the other side of the table and freaking out that I've been eating too much even on all liquids. Tomorrow starts purees...Guess I'll see if I have any restriction after all! :-)

Are these open to anyone?  I'm post-op and recently moved to the area.  Also, do you happen to know if there are any groups on the WA side of the river?

The support groups are open to anyone, but I don't know of any in Vancouver.
