I had my surgery with Eviva back in October. Wonderful group of doctors with a great team.

I'm a patient at Eviva too! Fist apt w/ Dr. Stewart on Dec 6th (2017) ... he just removed my lapband on Tuesday! I'm scheduled for a sleeve on April 3rd.

Okay, but now I'm freaking out. Something is going on with Eviva and it's not sounding good. I guess management is contacting patients but last week the entire psychotherapy group up and left, as did half their nutritionists. I found out earlier this morning when I called to schedule psych appts for March...my next one is on MONDAY and no one bothered to call to let me know psych quit. And on March 19th I had a preop nutrition apt that will no longer be. Do any of you know what's going on? The front desk, when I called to voice my concerns, made it sound as if the doors staying open are an uncertainty. Edmonds and Bellingham locations also just closed down. I'm so stressed over it all.

Make the journey to Rockwood Surgical Group in Spokane. Many have come here from all over Washington.

Spokane is awesome! But, all of my support people are here west of the mountains, so it'd be pretty tough to go that far.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
