I don't but I had mine done in post falls. Self pay for a much cheaper price.

Reminder to all WLS people, both pre and post op, living around Tacoma area. There is a planned meetup at Panara's in the Tacoma Mall on January 14th at 7 pm. All are welcome. It is a nice way to meet with those of us with common lifestyles!

Dr. Lindquist was my dietician at Swedish Weight Loss and Dr. Ross McMahon was my first choice but he recently left. I plan to go with Dr. Brian Sung I met him in the seminar.

Dr. Sung was my surgeon. I had RNY on 2/10/15 and it went very well. My surgery was in Seattle instead of Issaquah since I had a hernia repair at the time and the thoracic dr. Operates in Seattle. I highly recommend Dr. Sung!

If any of you are in the Seattle area:

The Washington State WLS Support Group is now holding meetings on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.

Next meetings: Sundays March 1st and 15th at 3PM

The Den Coffeehouse & Cafe

10415 Beardslee Blvd., Bothell, WA 98011

425-892-8954

These are newly forming meetings and are general support but will be opening to more social and fitness activities as the weather returns. These meetings are great for people who had surgery out of state or country and who are looking for more face-to-face support. All levels and surgeries welcome. Spread the word to people that may be interested in attending. Hosts: Kay Feather & Michelle Lotus, kayfeather304@gmail.com, mountingwings@gmail.com

Crowd-sourcing: Hey Everyone, Kay Feather aka primal and I started a WLS support group out of what we thought was a real need in the community for face-to-face support and the opportunity to put faces to names, profile pics and avatars. It has met a few times on the Northend/Bothell area. The attendance has been hit-or miss since its inception last November. I'm wanting to throw out there a couple of questions and hoping to get some responses. Do you need face-to-face support beyond what is offered at your care facility? What would increase or decrease the chance of you attending? If you like the idea of a meet-up in what forum (cafe, church, restaurant etc), location (north, south, east, central), what topics would you like to see addressed or appeals most? Would you be interested in events like hikes or races? Or are you happy with on-line support and support from your surgery facility's . Thanks everyone for your feedback in advance! :)

Dr.Sung did my surgery on Dec 15th. I can't say enough good about him and his whole team! The nurses at Swedish first hill were all superb as well. I have been a nurse for 35 years and I am very hard to please

I have absolutely no complaints. I was treated with compassion and respect throughout the whole process. The first day home I was called twice to make sure I was ok. Still sore but otherwise I feel great.

      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?

      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.
