Hello my name is Lisa. I live in Vancouver Washington. I am 6 days post-op from my Gastric Bypass. I had mine done @ OHSU and they were fantastic. My surgeon was Clfford Deveney and he was fabulous. The staff @ OHSU is top notch. If you wanna chat sometime i'm open.

God Bless!

I live in Longview, WA. I'm 18 mos post-op and am happy to help answer sleeve questions. I remember what it was like looking for reassurance prior to surgery and dealing with the emotions of weeks without weight loss post surgery.

Down 140 pounds now and you'd never know I use to weigh 355lbs.

Hi, I'm Dylan...

Seattle, Wa.

I am in the waiting for approval phase.

Looking for someone who had struggles with getting their sleeve approved, but finally did get it approved. I have already been denied once, and have sent in an appeal. I am now waiting to hear the verdict on the appeal.

I am noticing some bad habits forming on my end.. and wondering if they are reasonable or not.. :/

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
