I'm having surgery 12/27 here in PDX ???? I'm so excited!!! Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App

Hey there! I have my group intake appt on Thursday and am worried that since I barely qualify now (bmi is 36.7 and only proven comorbidity is high cholesterol) that after I do the 6 month weight loss and other testing... If I lose weight and my bmi drops they will tell me I no longer need surgery. Have you ever heard of this happening? I know I can lose the weight already. I have before a few times but its the keeping it off long term that gets me and its getting harder every time I try. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

You'll want to check with your provider... Also maybe try calling one of the centers of excellence to see what they recommend. Sometimes programs work with smaller community physicians to make sure all requirements are met before surgery. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Hello! I work at good Sam and am just getting started with the program myself! Who will be your surgeon? Mine is Dr. Patterson. I can't imagine being a patient anywhere other than legacy and that's not because I work there. I work there because I trust their programs and patient care Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App

Portland, OR.... feels like Arizona this weekend though! ???? Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App

I had a breast reduction about 3 years ago went from a size G to small D. I always had to order bras from bravissimo.com which is based in the UK. But they have the most options for larger breasts! It seems more UK based companies have bigger sizes than here in the states... Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App

I know I am banking on getting my surgery done end of December! I'll have to have one of these food funerals everyone's talking about over thanksgiving ???? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I lit up when you wrote Portland, until I read Oregon. I'm in Portland, Maine. LOL. Ah that's funny! I haven't found anyone from the northwest yet. We can still be buddies! Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App

I have my group welcome meeting on the 9th. I can't wait! I have so many questions and thoughts about it all... I'm here in Portland, oregon and would love to connect with someone going through the process on the same timeframe. Sent from my KFTHWI using the BariatricPal App
