Looking for a band buddy, Washington PST



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I have not been on in a long time. I was banded 2/2007 and have had very slow results. I have no support so decided that well I need to find it! I go this Thursday for a fill and ready to get back and start losing again. My local support group meets during my work hours and about 20 miles from my home so feel pretty isolated. I am 44, 2 grown children, no grand kids, married. I love to camp, play computer games and work as a registerd nurse at our local VA. I live in Spokane, WA. Drop me a line if you get a chance or if you are also looking for a buddy.:blink:

I live in Vancouver, Wa and had my surgery on 8/6. I am 52 years old and own a home health company, married, active, and also am just getting into RV camping. I am 5'4" and did weigh 234.8 when I started this journey back in June, and weigh 210 now, most of the loss is pre-op. However, I have read just about everything there is to read on this subject and talked to many many people who are successful and not successful. I have come into this with my eyes wide open and feel like I really know what to expect and when to expect it. I would be interested in being your buddy if this sounds good to you... you can privately email me at northwesthealth@aol.com if you'd like.

Hi, I was banded 8/17/06 and I live in Pacific, WA. I just hit my 2 year anniversary. I am a slow loser also, but I am down 109 lbs. I would be happy to be your buddy. You can e-mail me at ellen_langley@yahoo.com

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
