Hi, my name is Lynn and I'm a new member. I started this process about a month ago and things are moving fast. I am probably looking at an August surgery date. Paperwork will be turned into insurance next week. I see that there are several of us from Washington who have joined recently. I am so glad to have found this site, it is such a wealth of information, I'm pretty much addicted. I want all the information I can get before I do this. My doctor is Dr. Chock from Northwest weight loss surgery, curious if anyone else went there or is going there. Just wanted to introduce myself and thought we could give each other some support while going through this journey!

Hi Lynn,

I went to NWWL and they are great. Dr. Michaelson is my doctor. When I had my procedures the nurses were wonderful. I go for my 6 month check p next week. I live in Sequim. Where are you from?

Hi, I'm from Arlington my doctor is Dr. Chock. I am waiting on approval but have gone through all the hoops. I will be having my surgery at Evergreen because of my insurance. I have to go to a hospital that is a center of excellence. When was your surgery? I'm also curious if you have acid reflux issues. I am hoping this isn't something that will happen to me but as I'm reading this forum it sounds pretty common.
