Any WA state sleevers with surgeries coming up?

I'm planning to have my surgery in late January if approved by insurance. I live in Federal Way, WA.

    To kadie777.... I am over the top excited. As we all know, it takes many months of prep work to get to this point. I am jazzed...to say the least! ✨????????

    So glad to hear from others who are undertaking this procedure and life change! I wish mine were sooner but I have to wait till January because we are understaffed at work. Keep me posted on how you all are doing!

    Just found out I was approved already but my surgeon might be too busy to get me done this year. A little heartbroken right now.

    Kadie777...yes, i did! ;) My surgeon said I rocked it...my pain ( discomfort) was never unbearable. I've been on Clear liquids today, no more PCA pump....was up walking yesterday, like 5 hours post-op and am on track to go home tomorrow afternoon. I am amazed at myself, actually. I've got this ;)

    Surgery was yesterday morning and I came home this morning. I'm doing well. Some pain and discomfort. Pain meds are fantastic. My new tummy is very swollen so I have to go easy on my liquids but I'm staying hydrated. I'm keeping an ice pack on my bellybutton incision. It's by far the most painful and it's very bruised. I know it'll get better with each day!
