Hi' date=' all. I'm from Monroe, and if all goes well I'll be getting my sleeve in July sometime. I'm working with Dr Michaelson at NWWLS. I've done my obligatory 6 months of supervised diet with Sarah, had my psych evaluation with Linda, and now just waiting to do the last bits closer to my planned surgery.[/quote']

I can NOT say enough great things about Dr Michaelson and his entire staff. I has the best experience and care I could have ever imagined. The BEST thing I've ever done for myself.

I was sleeved on 3.11.13! I was going to go to dr. L but was not able to. But I still am going to try the groups :) I am going to be trying the tacoma one next week. Really excited to meet some people and share some stories and cloths... I have a whole closet to give away this week...lol

Let me know how it goes! the next one in Edmunds is on the 16th of April (3rd Tuesday of every month). Are there any in the Kirkland/Redmond/Bellevue area that anyone is aware of? That would be a lot closer for me.

skinny ginny - Overlake has a support group. I went a few times as a PRE OP, but haven't been there since. I really liked the meeting moderator, but at the time it was mostly RNY. You might check it out as they were very welcoming although they all seemed to have had surgery at Overlake.

So, I keep thinking some of us in the area should get together! Nothing elaborate, just a little support group meeting of our own! I am on the Eastside - to the north - Woodinville area.

I live in Bothell. I wasn't sure if they would welcome people at support groups if you didn't have surgery with them. I had mine in TJ.

The thing about the people at overlake is that you could call ahead to check, but my gut feeling is they would be welcoming. If they didn't want you there, they would handle it discretely - they are pros. It was a big group, but very well run, very supportive. I felt very welcome - but didn't wind up having my surgery there because the surgeon at the time wanted me to do the RNY so i found someone who believed in me and the sleeve!

I work at Overlake, but I just assumed I would have had to had my surgery there. Maybe I will look into it.

Hi, Rachel! Nice to meet you!

I hope you're doing well post surgery.

There's quite a mix of people on this thread, from pre sleevers like me to some who are vets and everywhere in between. Hopefully we can all help each other along the way.

Hi everyone! I am from Puyallup and I was sleeved 3-18-13 in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves! I would love to get some local support and maybe try out a support group! I am 3 weeks post op and down 28lbs!

I am over on the peninsula, but if you ever want to hang out and chat we could meet up some where in the middle :) I am all about having new friends and a bigger support system. I am 4 weeks out myself (sleeved on March 11th)

Hope your doing great! Let me know if you want to hang out sometime. :)

      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?

      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
