Hi everyone. We, my wife and I are getting ready to have VSG together. Sounds like June or July time frame. We have started on the "Pathway" as they call it at Madigan Army Hosp. So our first rounds of classes are complete, we have one more set of classes then we see a head doctor (lol) and will finally get to see our surgeon.

It makes it so much easier going thru this with your best friend. Having that support at home makes it very comfortable. We have only told a select few others about what we are doing. We already know who the negatives in our lives are so why put ourselves thru that? We will just lose the weight and say it's our new super diet LOL.

Have read alot of posts on here and find so many inspirational stories. Thank you all for that. Well thats about it for now. Will keep you posted on the journey!:thumbup:

Hey Dickson!

I will be in Port Orchard tomorrow! We are celebrating my MIL's birthday.

I was wondering if Madigan did any weight loss surgery. I have a gf who is a nurse there. And I was born there! : )

Congrats on your plans! I am so happy I did it!

Tomorrow is day two of the "Pathway" We see the Nutritionist again, this time on Post-Op food choices, then to Social for stress management and then to go sit in on a support group. Looking forward to knocking off a couple more requirements prior to seeing the Dr.!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
