Need a doctor on the Eastside



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery with a doctor that was in Tacoma. He's since moved and I'm looking for a doctor that will do follow ups in the Kirkland area. Any suggestions?

Bumping for you in case someone has an idea. I go up to Everett for fills although I'm also on the Eastside.

I think there's a fill center in Burien or Fed Way, which isn't too far for something like this.

Or maybe you found someone already?

My Dr. is in Federal Way which makes going to appointments a bear, since I'm on the eastside too. However starting this month every Friday he's in Kirkland for fills and appointments which is super exciting for me.

I am not sure what his policy is of doing fills on people he didn't perform the surgery on, I am thinking he doesn't do that, but it wouldn't hurt to call and check. His info is on my signature.

I'm in Newcastle and drive to Arlington for my fills. The gals there are so great!!!

Would any of you eastside bandsters want to get together for a coffee/tea sometime. Make our own little In-Town support group?

Peace,

Maggie

Maureen,

Why did you hate it?

I, too, needed an unfil on Friday - I had to go to my Nurse's home since she was not working on Friday. It took a little over an hour to get there, but was worth it. It was urgent that I got an unfil - I was having a hard time keep my saliva down.... I go to the Arlington Pharmacy to get my fills - the ladies there are great.

Where in Newcastle do you live? Would you like to meet for coffee, since we both live in Newcastle?

Peace,

Maggie

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
