Hello my name is Lisa. I live in Vancouver Washington. I am 6 days post-op from my Gastric Bypass. I had mine done @ OHSU and they were fantastic. My surgeon was Clfford Deveney and he was fabulous. The staff @ OHSU is top notch. If you wanna chat sometime i'm open.

God Bless!

I live in Longview, WA. I'm 18 mos post-op and am happy to help answer sleeve questions. I remember what it was like looking for reassurance prior to surgery and dealing with the emotions of weeks without weight loss post surgery.

Down 140 pounds now and you'd never know I use to weigh 355lbs.

Hi, I'm Dylan...

Seattle, Wa.

I am in the waiting for approval phase.

Looking for someone who had struggles with getting their sleeve approved, but finally did get it approved. I have already been denied once, and have sent in an appeal. I am now waiting to hear the verdict on the appeal.

I am noticing some bad habits forming on my end.. and wondering if they are reasonable or not.. :/
