Please post here if you were banded at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery.

I am schedule for 7 am on the 17th of May!

I was about 9 months ago. Any specifics you are looking for?

lisah

are you going to a support group there?

Not very often. I know they have them once a month, and I've been to a few, but I always seem to end up with a conflict.

I WILL be banded at NWWLS hopefully in June!! I just went to my 2nd seminar last night w/Michaelson, my hubby came with me just in case he had any questions that I had not thought of. And he did

I go to NWWLS on Mon, 21st & Wed, 23rd......

I PLAN on going to the support group meeting on June 11th @ 7pm in Everett.

I live in West Seattle (Alki), so if there are any others who have or want to have a group in that area at a later date I'm all for it!

I am in Woodinville and was banded on Thursday 5/10. So far all is well except for the gas pains in my left shoulder which come and go. I am so excited about the band and can't wait to see the results in the months to come.

hisuzi,

how are you doing with your post op diet?

Evilah

Hi Evilah,

The liquid diet is going ok for the most part. I have been mostly drinking Costco's Chocolate Weightloss shakes (a Slimfast type drink), drinkable yogurt (also from Costco), and tomato soup simply because they are easiest. Today I had a little apple sauce which was fine. I haven't had any issues with being really hungry but am ready to start exploring more food options. You must be rally excited that your surgery is almost here. I am excited for you. Just think how different life will be this time next year. :-)

I'm so excited for all of us... a year from now...wow.... I can't wait!!

Hello, I was also banded at NWWLS. I was banded on May 9th by Dr. Montgomery. I have about 4 more days of liquids & then onto mushies. Yay!! Some mashed potatoes sound extremely good. lol

I thought about going to the group meeting on June 11th also. By that time I will be almost ready for my first fill. Congrats to everyone and good luck.

Dawn:

Congrats to you on your loss so far!! WWWWooohhhooo!!

I'm planning to attend the support group on the 11th also, so save me a seat next to ya! :mad:

Hi Guys. I was banded by Dr.Montgomery at NWWLS on January 9th of this year.

How are you doing? I had my suregery on May 17th as well. I am struggling with drinking the protein suplments. What are you drinking? I would love to hear some feed back. Hope your surgery went well.

Thanks

is their a "clear" Protein?

What time were you banded, Zima? I was in the recovery until almost noon and told a gal with long brown hair and a case of the same weepys that I had had a few hours earlier that "it really isn't bad". I wish now I had known who it was.......

I had my post op appointment today and wished I would get put on mushies. Turns out I have been pushing it a bit the last couple days.....so back to more "liquid" for me. I did lose 12.7 pounds! So I am going back on the 28th of June for my 1st fill.
