Just starting.

Hi. I am just starting this journey and am full of questions. I live in Moses Lake and am wondering if they have introductory sessions here. I know they used to. I will be having my surgery covered by Tricare and would prefer my surgery in Spokane. I have a breast reduction 9 years ago, which allowed me to be able to work. The weight has been a serious issue for me - I spent 4 years within the same 4 pounds and only recently have come down off that plateau - I have lost 15 lbs. My Dr wants me to lose another 10 and says he will then start the paperwork.  Any advice? Support Group in Moses Lake?  Thanks!

Hey--I'm in ML, too. As far as I know (could be wrong) there aren't actually any surgery options in Moses. Tri-Cities, Spokane, and Seattle are your options.

They used to let you do Lap-Band fills here in town but I'm not sure if they do anymore--I think the intro classes were for that as well.

Rockwood has a solid program though and they're great to work with. Only 90 minutes away, right in the Deaconess health center off I-90.

I don't know of any support groups though--maybe Weigh****chers has something? I know there's one at Rockwood although I've never been. The forums here are a good bet.

If you would like to talk to someone in person just let me know--my wife had VSG two years ago and I go in for VSG in a week, so we're familiar with the process.

Good luck!
