Just to clarify...the meetings I was referring to are the informational pre-operative meetings at Kaiser Sunnyside which are for bariatric patients and support persons. The support group meetings are open to anyone and available in many locations. My apologies for the confusion.

Kaiser Sunnyside now does all their RNY procedures laproscopically! I had my surgery Dec 15, 2008 and everything went very well. The staff at Sunnyside are wonderful and very helpful in answering all my questions. Call Mary Lou Greenwood, the Bariatric Case Manager for more information about getting the process started. I beleive you have to be accepted into the bariatric program in order to attend the pre-op meetings, but I could be wrong about this.

Best of luck to you!

Does anyone go to the support group meetings at Southwest Washington Medical Center.  It's been almost a year since my surgery and I've never attended one.  I think it's time.  I need to get back on track.  There's one on the 21st from 7pm to 8:30pm.

No - no meeting this week!!  I think we'll aim for next month.  My recovery has been gruelling and I don't think I could sit in a chair for the meeting right now.

I guess I am confused Linda, but then, I am easily confused these day!  Is the meeting this Thursday @ Market of Choice?  My message came thru as  a reminder of the meeting on 11/13? 

Please clarify for me.  Thanks!
