Need a support group (Sleeve) by Seatac Airport!
I got on here tonight kind of for the same reason. I am having exsterm doubts about what i have done. My surgery was on June2nd 2010. I have lost 53 lbs. But I havn't been able to get out of this emotional rut! I have three kids at home I cook more for them know then before, I am not wanting to eat. I pretty much stick to grape juice, no sugar popsicals, and my protein drinks. But the protein drinks do me in for a good hour or so after drinking them!! not fun! I have discomfort evetime I put any kind of food in my mouth. Yes i am excited about the lose of weight, but everyone around me ask me all the time is it worth it! YES YES! it is worth it, a chance to have myself back, instead of hiding all the time, yes it is and was worth it! I am sorry if I am not much help the main reason for me to reply was to let you know that there are other people out here that are going through the same things. Use the web for help. As I plan on doing too!
Best wishes to you my dear, and everyone that takes the time to say hello!

Hi Stephanie,
I am a member of SPS (South Puget Sound) WLS support group. We are a fairly new group and our leader is Karrie Lynn Massotti - she was recently certified as a group leader. We are a small very friendly group - looking to expand. We meet generally twice a month. On a Thursday evening and also on a Saturday. We do not cater to any one particular surgery - we are open to all surgeries and also people searching out the various surgeries. We discuss anything and everything members want or need to discuss. Our next meeting is on August 12th, at 6:00 p.m. at HD Hotspurs, located in the Kent Valley off of Washington Street. Some people may think it's strange that we meet at restaurants, but we all still love to eat, and eating has been and will always be a part of life! We'd love to have you come join us and if you'd like further information about our group you may contact me at: [email protected] or check out the SPS site on OH or also on facebook. We meet at different restaurants or different places for each meeting to make it fair to people that come from different locations. We are always open to new meeting suggestions, topics, and new faces. Please come join us as my guest.
Sincerely,
Donna/ragadolly

Hi Stephanie,
I posted this a little bit ago for all of Washington folks, cuz your inquiry spurred me on to do so. Please give our group a try, I think you'll like the warm welcome. :)

Just wanted to drop a note in here to invite you to the Seattle DS WLS Support Group (everybody who has had any type of WLS is welcome, though, VSGers, RNYers, lap banders, and of course those who are currently researching their options).
We meet once a month, the 2nd Saturday of the month, from 3pm-6pm, at the Sizzler in Tukwila.
Dr. Rabkin, from San Francisco, comes to this meeting once every 4 months, and gives a small talk and presentation on the pros and cons and history of Weight Loss Surgery. It's a very good, educational hour. We then have introductions, and discussion, and comraderie, and chatting time.
It's unusual, I realize, to meet at a restaurant, especially an all-you-can-eat type, but we like it, for the most part (and to me, it means "no shame" for being the shape and size we are).
We are in the back meeting room. Most of us just order food when we get there, then head back to the room.
Please join us for the Seattle DS Support Group.
Sizzler Restaurant, Tukwila, WA
Saturday, Sept. 11
3-6pm
Everyone is welcome.
We've had people come who are looking into weight loss surgery, people who have had surgery, people who have had RNY, VBG, VSG, and lap band. Anybody and everybody is welcome.
