Hello! I had my rny surgery last Wednesday, 9/7, in Seattle. I live in the Issaquah / Preston area and I'm still getting used to my new stomach pouch and pain management. :)

Hi! How did you feel after surgery? I live in Port Townsend. It's nice to meet another Washingtonian. ☺️

Nice to meet you! I felt surprisingly mild/good after surgery! I was in quite a bit of pain when I went home - especially that leftmost incision. 😱 I'm a week out from surgery tomorrow and I'm feeling a lot better. 😊 I think I made the right decision to have rny bariatric surgery! :D

Thank you and Congratulations to you! I’m so glad we have a quality Bariatric clinic here on the Peninsula. I attended one of the online group meetings and plan to attend more. I just scheduled my surgery date yesterday for October 10🙌🏼.

The clinic is amazing! Keri had everything so well organized, it made the whole process great and less stressful. October 10th! That's coming up. How exciting 😀

I lived in Indianola for 11 years and just moved to Silverdale this last year! I will be having surgery with Dr. Clive in October. I hope your journey is going well!

I might see you on the zoom on the 5th of October if you are joining. It's Reyes and Clives current and past patients. :)

Hi. I live over in Central WA, north of Wenatchee. I had my GB surgery 1/1923 and am in recovery phase. Not fun so far…. But am losing .5-1 lb per day pretty much. 😉

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
