Do these exist, or do people just go to PDX?  I'm new to the area (ish) and had VSG in 2012, so I wouldn't be affiliated with a surgeon or hospital here but would like to find a support group.

Thanks for any help!

NSVs abound this weekend. - First, my "that's it, I'm having wls" moment was tied to not being able to ride some paddle boats and a local amusement park with my son because I was too damned fat.  This weekend...

Itchy/flaky skin? - I'm about 3 1/2 weeks out from lbl/bl & augmentation, and the skin on my lower abdomen and lower side of my breasts is ITCHY and starting to flake. Anyone else have this?  I see m...

NSV--Bikini! - My husband and I are headed to Hawaii in 3 weeks.  I'm 3 1/2 weeks out from plastics (lbl and ba/lift).  Yesterday, I bought a bikini.  I haven't worn a bikini since I was 12 or so...

Three Weeks Out - I'm 3 weeks out from my LBL and BL/aug.  I'm still pretty sore in places, and my lower abdomen is swollen, but as a whole I feel ok.  My breasts have dropped and are starting to lo...

Sex post LBL - I'm sure there are plenty of posts about this right now, but I'm bored so I thought I'd start another. :) I definitely notice a difference in my "lady area" post lbl in terms of t...

I am so flipping bored. - I'm about 2 weeks post LBL and BL/aug.  Getting super bored of not feeling like myself, really.  And by that I really mean of not being able to work out or do the things that need ...

My most recent column. - Well, I had a deadline today (ok, 3 days ago) and decided just to put it out there and write about plastics. :)  Here's a link if anyone is interested.

Had plastics last week. - At home, getting bored wondering if this will all turn out ok.  It's hard to tell right now because of the swelling.  I hope I didn't go from an hourglass shape to a weird diamond....

That lady is crazy--you look great. She's (if "she" is really a she)...

For Kairk - Here are some pictures I took at my first plastics consult, just playing around with the implants.  These were too wide for my frame, but they made for an interesting picture!

Some thoughts on "goal" weight. - I have some extra time today (ok, to be honest I'm ignoring the mountain of laundry in my house and just getting sucked in here, but whatever) and am catching up on some recent pos...

I guess today is "Plastics" day. :) - I'm scheduled for a LBL and breast lift/augmentation on June 4.  Had the consult in January and decided to just go for it.  I go back May 16 for my pre-op consult and to officially...

"Coming Out" online - I contribute to the blog Moms Who Need Wine.  This is my post for the month, if anyone is interested. :) It's not exactly "coming out" since anyone who knows me in real life...

Time between goal and plastics? - I hit goal in December and am maintaining well.  I'm a HUGE planner and have some scheduling constraints this year, so I went ahead and did some consultations in Dec/Jan.  After...

3 HOURS of Yoga--Happy 2014! - I posted a while ago that I'd signed up for a 3-hour yoga class to "flow" into the new year at a local yoga studio.  I thought perhaps I'd lost my mind, but I did it anyhow.  So...

Who am I? - I just signed up for a 3 HOUR yoga class on New Year's Day at the prompting of a friend. Clearly, I have lost my mind. :) That's one surefire way to prevent me from over...

GOAL!!! - At my appointment Tuesday, my surgeon and I decided I could stop at 133 and maintain.  I was happy, he was happy, my body seemed to like the 135 range, I was fine with not makin...
