I am in the Tri cities butbhaving surgery in Spokane. Anyone near me?

I don't live in Snohomish, but am there at least 2-3 times a week! Love to hear from fellow "townies"

I'm in Marysville and getting sleeved tomorrow! I'm very nervous and excited!

I am tentatively scheduled for surgery for May 5th (assuming that insurance is approved). I am going to NWWLS center.

Good luck with your surgery

That is where I'm having mine to ☺

Crowd-sourcing: Hey Everyone, Kay Feather aka primal and I started a WLS support group out of what we thought was a real need in the community for face-to-face support and the opportunity to put faces to names, profile pics and avatars. It has met a few times on the Northend/Bothell area. The attendance has been hit-or miss since its inception last November. I'm wanting to throw out there a couple of questions and hoping to get some responses. Do you need face-to-face support beyond what is offered at your care facility? What would increase or decrease the chance of you attending? If you like the idea of a meet-up in what forum (cafe, church, restaurant etc), location (north, south, east, central), what topics would you like to see addressed or appeals most? Would you be interested in events like hikes or races? Or are you happy with on-line support and support from your surgery facility's . Thanks everyone for your feedback in advance!

Looking forward to hearing how your surgery went. I'm scheduled for tomorrow

Congrats to you who are just getting sleeved! I was scared too and the first few weeks were a bit of a challenge but it gets better every day and there is no looking back for me now!

Surgery went very well! I have had no gas and not much pain! Good luck to you!

Insurance approval received. Scheduled for surgery on May 5th

How has it been going for you so far?

It's been great I'm done 50 pounds so far. Sitting at a stall right now which is very frustrating though. Who is doing your surgery?

Have you tried the pouch test I believe its calleD? I seen people talking about it. I'm having it done in Mexico with Dr Vasquez.

I haven't done a pouch test either. I've seen people talk about but don't quite understand the why part of it but I'm still new at this. I had mine done in Mexico too but with dr Ariel Ortiz. It was an awesome experience. You meet a lot of great people from all over.
