I live in Tacoma :) will you be attending the support group at St Francis?

Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I doubt it, even though I'd like to. I have a 2 and 3 year old and not much in the way of childcare help during the day. Wish they had an evening group!

Glad to hear positives about Dr Houseworth! I'm getting sleeved by him next week, Nov. 3. I was a little nervous that he didn't require preop diet, but sounds like everyone has done just fine!

I was wondering about a preop diet too. How quickly after your approval were you scheduled for surgery? I have to wait until he's back next week before I get my date. Good luck to you!!!

Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I was approved on Oct.10th, their earliest date was Oct. 25th, but I couldn't do that so I took Nov.3. I know the waiting is hard!

Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

So very hard!!! I really appreciate your posts. Please let me know how things go for you. This is very exciting :)

There is an evening support group on the 3rd Monday of the month at St Clare's in Lakewood. 6:30pm-7:30pm. Some people go to both, and same nutritionists and subjects. Hope that helps.

I'm 5 months post op right now. Surgery was May 23, 2016. I wasn't required to do any pre op diets. I did have to do 4 months of nutritional counseling, lab work, and various physical exams. I've lost 101 pounds so far. It's been good! I've had no issues except my gallbladder needed to be taken out 2 months after my WLS. Dr. Houseworth is great, but honestly I don't interact with him much. I'll see him for my 6 month checkup, but other than that, I've only seen him 3 times. 2 for prep op and then on the day of surgery.

      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'. ???

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

        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!
