Of the WA sleevers who has been sleeved and who is still in the process?

I'll go first! I am getting sleeved 3/12/13

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. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
