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

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!

Totally understandable!

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!!!

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!

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.
