Re: Spokane group?

[Guest guest]

There are a few of us that meet in Liberty Lake on the 3rd wednesday of the

month at the

Starbucks there.. This coming wednesday is our meeting if you want to come. I

would

subscribe to PNWbandsters so that you receive notices about the meeting and any

changes

to it.

I have heard of a lap band support group that meets on the 1st tuesday of the

month at a

hospital on the north side of spokane, but don't know much beyond that.

Take your meds for pain before you think you need them. I didn't do that and

was in pain

for a day or two. Also have a heating pad and gas-x ready. I had shoulder pain

due to

bad gas and those things helped. You may or may not need them.

Thankk you for the information and the invite.  I am still working so mid-day

stuff is hard.  The north Spokane group would probably work better since I live

on the north side.  Will stop and get some Gas-X and I also heard I should

probably get some Pepcid AC. 

Thanks again,  Bev

Doe Doe,

//Please pay attention to the not lifting anything over 10 pounds for 6

weeks.//

That is the first time I heard of the weight restriction. Dr Pennings

probably told me and I just forgot. I have surgery this Monday, the

22nd, and was planning on getting back to work the following Monday. I

will need to weigh my computer & bag and see where I stand. May need

to modify how I work.

Are you attending a support group on the north end or is it through

Rockwood?
