Any Seattle/Tacoma Sleevers with surgeries approaching?

Hi. I live in Federal Way and have surgery scheduled 31May. I'm very excited. Anyone else having surgery soon?

Have you heard anything about changes to the postop diet? I was on the GHC bariatric facebook group and one of the women said they now want us to do the full liquid phase for 4 weeks after surgery instead of 2 weeks. She said the NUT told her at her post op appt that they just changed it. I hope that isn't true.

I have not heard that. The plan I have is just two weeks for liquid only. 4 weeks would kinda suck, but if they think that's a better plan...

There's a GHC bariatric Facebook group?

Thank you and congrats on your loss!

How is eating going for you? I'm always interested to hear if people have changed tastes, food aversions, or any intolerances.

Has post-op life started to feel normal?

I'm Group Health but had my surgery in Mexico on June 27. Mini bypass. Excellent experience and one fifth the cost of full pay here! Love my new life down 53 pounds in 8 weeks.

Hi all...late to the party. Was wondering if you guys are in fb groups for Seattle Sleevers or if you've done meetups?

I had mine back in July at Madigan. Now I'm trying to the last 50 off. I live in Puyallup.
