Does anyone know ao any Post-OP VSG support groups in the North end? Or anyone interested in forming one focused on positive discussion and goal strategies for post ops?

What do you mean by North end?  I've just lived in Spokane a year now so am still a bit muddled on locations.  I had my RNY in 2005 and want to find a support group or get one going.  I've gained some weight and want some accountability to help me get it off!

I live on the northend of Lake Washington in Bothell, that is quite far from Spokane.

I am interested in the same thing. I had VSG 7 months ago and want to remain accountable and continue with healthy lifestyle changes. Discussing it in person seems better than always online.

I agree with in-person vs. online.  I want to find someone here but it seems to be a struggle.  I know there are WLS patients here--I went to one of the support groups when I first moved here--so I'm disappointed to see so few posting online.  I really don't want to go to a WW or TOPS or OA meeting, but there don't seem to be many other options.

We have a fantastic support group that meets on the second Sat. of each month in Tukwila. It's for all the Seattle area--it's predominantly DS patients but all surgery types are welcome.

Here's the info:

Hi, Puget sound sugical in Edmonds has a monthly support group.  I only went once so i can't attest to how good it is!

 

Overlake Hospital has one too, which I thought was very good.  I went several times when I was preop and really liked it. At the time though it was almost all RNY. this was the reason I didn't have surgery there - I wanted the sleeve!
