I'm having surgery on 3/7/2013 at Evergreen with Dr. Srikanth. Very excited and very nervous too! I am trying not to worry to much about the procedure. I know that I'm in very good hands. I have had a long time to think about it and come to terms during the pre-op process, but it still makes me nervous.

I'm hoping to revise to VSG' date=' having too many complications with my band to continue like this. I'm on Medicare with Regence medAdvantage. My band surgeon is Dr Jeffrey Hunter at Virginia Mason. I live in Snohomish County.[/quote']

Dr Hunter saved my life. He is a wonderful surgeon and you can't get better care than at Virginia mason!

I was at evergreen for a couple of days after my first surgery. It's a good hospital. I wish you the best!

I was sleeved at Puget Sound Surgical Center in Edmonds.

I live in Capitol Hill M-F and Port Orchard on the weekends.

It would be cool to have some kind of gathering!

Did you have a good experience there. I loved doctor landerholm

I was sleeved 12/12/2011 by Dr Landerholm at Puget Sound Surgical.

I lost 150# and hit my goal weight in Feb of this year.

Biggest problem I have had is so many people not recognizing me. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
