I am 8 wks post op and was hoping to find a support group in my area. I am in the Bonney Lake, WA. Anyone know a group close to me?

I hope you get responses from OH people in your area - I'm from Penna. 

If you don't you can check for Bariatric Centers of Excellence - usually hospitals - in your area.  As for local support groups, EVERY Bariatric Center of Excellence has a support group (requirement for becoming one).

There's a support group that meets at St. Francis in Federal Way. You can contact Dr. Srikanth's office for time and locations. Usually 4th Thursday of every month.

^^^ what she said.  

Also there is a Washington State forum here on OH and once in awhile someone will post support group schedules.  I haven't been on that page in forever but it might be worth a look for you.  Here is the link:   Washington State forum

Let's meet at the Poodle Dog sometime. Even if there is no meeting. Something named Poodle Dog should not be missed.
