Hey everyone I'm excited to back on this journey again. I had started the process last year in California but ended up moving to Washington state. Now I have a 6 month pre op diet to follow and I'm about half way done. I will be having my surgery at the UW in Seattle and I have UHC. Anyone else in WA having surgery around that time?

@@MissMellyMell have you gotten your endoscopy scheduled yet? Or a call about a date?

Hi @@boogie_badd8nt_she I was able to have my Upper endoscopy here in Vancouver at Peacehealth off of Millplain Blvd. I had it with Dr.Eklier. All I had to do was have UW fax the referral and then I called in the next day to schedule. Way more convenient and cost efficient than waiting until the new year and driving up to UW again. Also I'm still working on that dang 5%, they won't schedule me to even meet the surgon until that 5% is lost. Other than that everything else is done! I was hoping things would happen a little quicker, but looks like surgery won't be happening until March or April at this point, but I'm okay with that too, as long as it happens in the new year! How are you doing? Oh feel free to message me too! Did you say you're also in Vancouver?
