Washington State Friends

[It'sAlbright 22]

Hi! I have got a surgery date of June 23, 2022! I am wondering if there is anyone on this forum that lives in Washington State, the Pacific Northwest to be exact, or, to be even more exact... The Olympic Peninsula? I'd love someone to talk to, whether you have had the surgery yet or not. Just someone who is on the same journey as me would be fantastic!

I wish. I grew up on Whidbey Island over there. Miss the Pacific Northwest so much. Wish houses were not so expensive lol. Good luck on finding a PNW buddy.

I live right across the Water from Whidbey! In Port Townsend! Yes everything is absolutely crazy expensive.

I had my VSG surgery and lived in the Seattle area my whole life until moving down to Portland at the end of last year.

SOOO LUCKY lol. I always loved just sitting and relaxing at Fort Casey watching the ferry between Coupville and Port Townsend. Great place to take pictures too. I grew up there from 1988-2000 and last went back 2 years ago.

Right now at the Unity Center but looking to make a change :)

Things are so crazy right now. I work a couple jobs-- Occupational Health and Home Care supervision. We are in dire need of caregivers if you know any.

Your stats are awesome. Congrats on reaching goal!

Thank you-you too! Being new to the area I don’t really know people in healthcare outside of Unity. It is a crazy time to work in the medical field for sure!

Absolutely love the photo! I've grown up in PT, went to all of the schools k-12. It is a really beautiful place. I got married in Langley in September of last year! It was weird to see the bluffs of a PT vs. Whidbey like usual.

I lived in Port Angeles for about 3 years. I loved it. I moved last October to the Spokane area.

I lived in Indianola for 11 years and just moved to Silverdale this last year! I will be having surgery with Dr. Clive in October. I hope your journey is going well!

I went to Dr. Reyes who works in the same office! So far since late June, I am down over 50lbs! If you ever need to reach out, I'm here!
