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.. :/

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
