Looking for members from Spokane

Hi there!

Very long story short....I started this journey about 3 years ago in Tacoma. I was supposed to have surgery at Madigan Army Hospital. However, my husband decided to retire from the USAF. So, after getting 3/4 of my work-up completed, we moved closer to home...Spokane.

I am now back up on that horse and getting closer by the minute to scheduling surgery with Dr. Jonathan Spitz at the Rockwood Clinic.

I thought it might be nice to meet people from the Spokane area that are going through or have had WLS. I have all sorts of questions and it'd be nice to make new friends and pick your brains!  :-)

Thanks!
Dena

Kara~ 

Thanks for posting. I am soooo excited. I just got my approval from Dr. Spitz yesterday.  I'm just waiting on the scheduler to call me to set me up with the dietitian and my pre-op with the PA. 

It's so good to hear from other people who've had Dr. Spitz. So far I've heard only good things. I'm glad you're doing so well.

Thanks again!

I am waiting for Tricare to send me a referal to hopefully see Dr Spitz. I am looking to get a revision from VBG to RNY. Hope all goes well for you. Karen
