Banded at Northwest Weight Loss (Everett)



Recommended Posts

Not very often. I know they have them once a month, and I've been to a few, but I always seem to end up with a conflict.

I WILL be banded at NWWLS hopefully in June!! :( I just went to my 2nd seminar last night w/Michaelson, my hubby came with me just in case he had any questions that I had not thought of. And he did :)

I go to NWWLS on Mon, 21st & Wed, 23rd......

I PLAN on going to the support group meeting on June 11th @ 7pm in Everett.

I live in West Seattle (Alki), so if there are any others who have or want to have a group in that area at a later date I'm all for it! :)

I am in Woodinville and was banded on Thursday 5/10. So far all is well except for the gas pains in my left shoulder which come and go. I am so excited about the band and can't wait to see the results in the months to come.

Hi Evilah,

The liquid diet is going ok for the most part. I have been mostly drinking Costco's chocolate Weightloss shakes (a Slimfast type drink), drinkable yogurt (also from Costco), and Tomato Soup simply because they are easiest. Today I had a little apple sauce which was fine. I haven't had any issues with being really hungry but am ready to start exploring more food options. You must be rally excited that your surgery is almost here. I am excited for you. Just think how different life will be this time next year. :-)

Hello, I was also banded at NWWLS. I was banded on May 9th by Dr. Montgomery. I have about 4 more days of liquids & then onto mushies. Yay!! Some mashed potatoes sound extremely good. lol

I thought about going to the group meeting on June 11th also. By that time I will be almost ready for my first fill. Congrats to everyone and good luck.

How are you doing? I had my suregery on May 17th as well. I am struggling with drinking the Protein suplments. What are you drinking? I would love to hear some feed back. Hope your surgery went well.

Thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
