Has anyone had any experience with St Francis Hospital Federal Way Weight Management program? Drs Haroon Anwar or Troy Houseworthy?? I have BCBS Fed and need to use a "Center of Excellence". There's not a lot of chat about sleeve in this area. I'm a little worried, and would be so grateful for ANY feedback! Thanks!

Wow. NO ONE has had surgery by these doctors or in the facility. That's alarming to me since I'm using this facility!

And, the fact that 49 people read this but NOT ONE left a comment makes me curious about even posting anything again...

Hi everybody. My surgeon is Dr. Houseworth. I have heard from coworkers who have had the sleeve done that he was great. My surgery us on Thursday so I will let you know how it goes. I just had my last appointment with him today.

Hey everybody. Surgery went well. No complaints or complications. I guess the only thing I would say is I wish I spoke to him more or that he was more friendly. He's nice. He was on time for rounds in the hospital . He did a beautiful surgery and gallbladder removal. All is well.

I had run on May 23 with Dr. Houseworth. My surgery went well. I have had good experiences with the office and the nutritional office

Congrats! How was your nausea? Do they have support groups afterwards? How soon after surgery were you able to go home?

I came home the night of the 24th. I was done with the nausea by then. It would just kinda be there, I vomited a few Times which was awful but at least it was at the hospital. .no major problems with gas either I was able to burp and have just got used to the fact that I am burpy now. Your self

I get nauseous so easily, so I'm not looking forward to that part.

Did you have to lose 10% of your body weight before surgery? How long did you have to be on liquids pre-op?

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
