Newbie!

Hi guys & gals! My name is April an Im from Everett. I am going for the lap band, im currently 5'6, 272 and have been this way.. well ever since I can remember! I am so excited to start this new journey in my life. Although last night, I kinda had an emotional release, but my BF was really good about it I am having my surgery @ the NW Weight Loss Center in Everett. Dr. Watkins is going to be my surgeon.. *YAY* I've heard good things about him. My consult with the nurse is next friday (2/10) and my *nutcase eval* haha is on Feb. 24th along with my consult with Dr. Watkins. I plan on having surgery after the 15th of March.. :D **YYYYAAAYYY FOR ME! ** Has anyone had surgery @ the NW Center?

April, welcome to the best place on the net for support!!! I am so proud of you and the hard choice you have made to have wls. I know only of NW Center's reputation through others reflects.... sounds like a good center that cares and seems to be accomplished in getting a good following. I will look forward to hearing how your consultation and your mental evaluation goes. Keep us posted! hugs, Aunt Pam

April, welcome to the journey! We have a support group that meets on the first Saturday of each month at the Marysville Library from 2:30-4:30 and would love to see you there. If you need directions, you can email either myself or Aunt Pam with contact information.

Thanks! I will try and make it... if not this month, for sure next month
