I had my surgery with Eviva back in October. Wonderful group of doctors with a great team.

I'm a patient at Eviva too! Fist apt w/ Dr. Stewart on Dec 6th (2017) ... he just removed my lapband on Tuesday! I'm scheduled for a sleeve on April 3rd.

Okay, but now I'm freaking out. Something is going on with Eviva and it's not sounding good. I guess management is contacting patients but last week the entire psychotherapy group up and left, as did half their nutritionists. I found out earlier this morning when I called to schedule psych appts for March...my next one is on MONDAY and no one bothered to call to let me know psych quit. And on March 19th I had a preop nutrition apt that will no longer be. Do any of you know what's going on? The front desk, when I called to voice my concerns, made it sound as if the doors staying open are an uncertainty. Edmonds and Bellingham locations also just closed down. I'm so stressed over it all.

Make the journey to Rockwood Surgical Group in Spokane. Many have come here from all over Washington.

Spokane is awesome! But, all of my support people are here west of the mountains, so it'd be pretty tough to go that far.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
