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

      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.

      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! 😞
