Had my sleeve last week on 1/8. No complications and I feel great. The only discomfort I had was from the CO2 making my left shoulder ache but that has mostly subsided now since I've been out walking a bunch. I could have gone back to work today but I'm going to relax and enjoy the next week off.

Bothell/Kenmore area. Surgery 12/14 down 20lbs in major stall, but not bothered... I have a lifetime to lose and I'm taking this time to reprogram my eating into healthy new ones.

I'm from Bothell, going to Northwest Weightloss Surgery Center in Everett. I am finishing up my pre-op appts later this month then have to wait for insurance approval. Still debating between the band and the sleeve but today I'm leaning more towards the sleeve. I've lost 20 pounds so far on my own with the help of my nutritionist and high Protein diet. And my 5am workout. Now I'll only have 120 more to lose between now and well, whenever I get there :)

Sounds like everyone is staying positive and I am loving reading all the good news. My update is I am down about 28 (surgery 12/31) but I am still very swollen internally so I am struggling even to manage soft foods. What I see as the positive is that I joined

Curves for Women and I am loving the workouts. I go three times a week, walk my poodle everyday and I use my elliptical on days I do not go to curves, so I feel great.

I go back to the surgeon next week to see if the swelling is reduced if it is then I will begin soft foods once more (Yippy with some sarcasm).

Keep up the good work everyone:-)

I had my surgery at NWWL and I absolutely credit them with changing my life. Dr Michelson is beyond amazing and the entire staff was I incredibly supportive. My surgery was on 12/13 and I'm down 56 lbs. I would do this over and over an over. BEST thing I've ever done for myself.

I was sleeved Tuesday 3/12/2013 @ St.Francis by Dr. Houseworth. Everything went excellent! Each day gets a bit better, a bit easier.

Anyone go to any local support groups?

I was hoping to have Dr. Houseworth do my surgery! My insurance would not cover me because I have not been at a BMI of 40 or more for the last five years...I was 39.something. So close, yet so far! Glad to hear it went well!

I remember their support group in FW was in the am, and in Lakewood in the pm. If there are others, I would love to know about it! I'd love a local support group!

Yeah, everything and everyone has exceeded my expextations! I've heard wonderful things about all the surgeons associated with St. Francis Center for Weight Management. Unfortunately, they only have the two support groups and times. I think I'll try to hit up the Lakewood group at St. Claire's sometime soon.

      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!!

      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?
