  9. I just went through the process with triwest - united healthcare military west. It was 4 weeks from consult to surgery. Message me if you need any help.

  14. I just had my surgery by dr Neal on the 17th of this month. My experience so far has been great. Do you all attend the support group meetings?
  15. Hi all. I couldn't find the posts at first either! I was banded on the 17th. It's back to work for me tomorrow. I'm still having quite a bit of incision pain but other than that I'm all right.
  16. Thanks Allyson and congrats!! My only advise is to have a small pillow with you and pull that close to your tummy prior to a cough. It will hurt though, just no getting around it.
  17. Ahh I live in olympia wa. Thinking of going really south like Medford area.
  18. I'm only a week post op but 16 pounds in 11 days seems pretty amazing!
  19. I agree the wait was the worst. I'm almost a week out and the part I was least prepared for is the pain of the incisions. There is some muscle pain and deep shooting pains at first with certain movements. That surprised me.
  20. I agree!! Congrats!!!
  21. Add me please! Rebeccarawks.
