I'm having surgery on 3/7/2013 at Evergreen with Dr. Srikanth. Very excited and very nervous too! I am trying not to worry to much about the procedure. I know that I'm in very good hands. I have had a long time to think about it and come to terms during the pre-op process, but it still makes me nervous.

I'm hoping to revise to VSG' date=' having too many complications with my band to continue like this. I'm on Medicare with Regence medAdvantage. My band surgeon is Dr Jeffrey Hunter at Virginia Mason. I live in Snohomish County.[/quote']

Dr Hunter saved my life. He is a wonderful surgeon and you can't get better care than at Virginia mason!

I was sleeved at Puget Sound Surgical Center in Edmonds.

I live in Capitol Hill M-F and Port Orchard on the weekends.

It would be cool to have some kind of gathering!

Did you have a good experience there. I loved doctor landerholm

I was sleeved 12/12/2011 by Dr Landerholm at Puget Sound Surgical.

I lost 150# and hit my goal weight in Feb of this year.

Biggest problem I have had is so many people not recognizing me. :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
