Wonderful. A life re-born. I read all of the post and so happy she made it through. God's Speed Tiffany.

Note: You had surgery on my Birthday.

I have 19 til my orientation with Kaiser. Can't wait to get the ball rolling.

She is all dressed up and only one place to go!

TiffanyisMajor is just minutes away from her surgery! She has been calm and cool all day, the nerves are setting in a little now tho : )

We are at the Vida Hospital location. There was some remodeling still going on at the new facility. I had surgery at the "old" clinic in February. This place is large and very modern. Each room has its own bathroom, tv, phone, beds and recliner. The same staff are here and are very nice and supportive.

I will post after her surgery is over!

So jealous!!! I lived a year in the classy Renton suburb, but would spend every weekend with my Aunt in Issaquah. In face I hope to be back in time for salmon days this fall.

Thanks for asking : )

She is doing great! Had a decent night. Got right up this am, took a shower, had her dressings changed. We have been at the recovery house since about 10am. She is sleeping ... I am socializing! LOL After lunch tho I intend to take a nap.

There is a new doctor here, Dr. Brenda. She speaks fluent English. She was in the hospital last night to check on Tiffany and then at the recovery house about mid-morning to check the patients here.

Met a gal from Texas who is here with her husband. She had surgery 2 days ago. She was so excited to get broth after her leak test today! She was up and around soon after surgery, and is doing very well now too. Typical post-op soreness but nothing big.

I guess that is about it for now. The sun went away, so much for a little tanning time! lol

I haven't gone to Salmon Days forever! I need to put that on my calendar!

Ouroborous: As far as it raining in Seattle ~ like that is a big surprise!! LOL It would feel odd to come home to anything else!!

Hey this is cool, more Seattle people!! I'm actually from Wenatchee, but have lived in Mill Creek for 8 years now.

So Tiffany is doing great! That is so good to hear, hope she has a fast recovery. How was it being the spectator this time? And they have a new Dr?? That is awesome, take a little pressure off of Dr. Almanza.

Wannalise, if you come back this summer we will all have to get together, looks like there are 4 of us already. Ouroborous where in Seattle do you live?

Are the two of you scheduled to come home tomorrow or the next day?

Well enjoy while you are there!!

Actually, there's one more Seattle sleever: my girlfriend, who was sleeved in November and is doing great (she says it was the best choice she's ever made) and doesn't post on this board.

We live in North Seattle, just south of the border with Shoreline. Over in the Northgate/Wallingford area.

Tiffany is still doing great! In fact, she is making me look bad. LOL I slept most of my first day in the recovery house. She slept for awhile and now has been up for 3 or 4 hours, downstairs, watching movies and chatting.

Fab, I don't know if Dr. Brenda is a surgeon. She has been here a couple of times today and I think will be back this evening. I will try to ask her. It has been very interesting to watch the process from the other side. And I was mistaken earlier. The clinic I was at in February is their main clinic. They have been doing some remodeling so have been using the Vida Hospital.

Tony is picking me up early in the morning to go to the airport. My flight is at 11am. Tiffany goes home on Friday.

She will get to drink the nummy purple liquid tomorrow for her leak test. I figured I would leave town before that. LOL

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
