Hello I'm scheduled to have surgery in June 2019 on my Washington State and looking for Buddies in my area.

I'm also in Spokane! Thank you for the tips!

Another tip is to put a little baking soda in anything with tomatoes. It will neutralize the acid and you won't get acid reflux.

Congrats TracyS!! I will definitely be using those tips for sure!!! A pound a day is amazing

Less than a month ago I was 292. In 2 weeks on the pre OP diet I lost 16 lbs. So on April 3rd I weighed 276. This Wednesday will be a month after the pre OP and 2 weeks after the surgery. Today I weigh 263 so have lost another 13 lbs. Total 29 lbs. By Wednesday which will be a month on this journey I should weigh approximately 260 lbs. Basically a 32 lb loss in a month.

Wow congrats!

I am right outside Tacoma in Parkland. Still waiting on a date. It's taking forever. I have been done with pre OP requirements for almost 6 weeks and my insurance approved 3 weeks.

Hello, congrats on completing your pre requirements, I live off 112 near Parkland. I'm going through MultiCare.

We are close to there in the Midland area. I am going through CHI Franciscan. My mom went through Multicare for her WLS and had a good experience though.
