Washington State Friends

Hi! I have got a surgery date of June 23, 2022! I am wondering if there is anyone on this forum that lives in Washington State, the Pacific Northwest to be exact, or, to be even more exact... The Olympic Peninsula? I'd love someone to talk to, whether you have had the surgery yet or not. Just someone who is on the same journey as me would be fantastic!

    I wish. I grew up on Whidbey Island over there. Miss the Pacific Northwest so much. Wish houses were not so expensive lol. Good luck on finding a PNW buddy.

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. :)

I have Kaiser WA and live in Tacoma Wa and I have my provider seminar 1/27/23 so I may have surgery sometime in the summer once I am done with all the pre classes. I would love to connect with you ? Could I shoot you a private message?

Hi NettieD, Yes please do PM me. I’d love to chat. :)

I lived in Port Angeles for about 3 years. I loved it. I moved last October to the Spokane area.

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. ?
