Hi everyone,
I'm in the early stages of pursuing a WLS and was wondering if anyone could share their experience or offer advice for a surgery at Madigan? I think that I would want a DS but I'm trying to keep an open mind about other options.
Thanks for your help,
Bianca

Hi everybody!
I am post op Gastric Bypass (last October). We are moving back to WA next week and I am looking for support groups near Monroe or in Monroe. Is anybody meeting in this area?
I will need a new Bariatric facility/doctor etc. I prefer a clinic that is a center of excellence.
Looking forward to connecting with other WLS patients soon.
Thanks!
I think we will all learn a few lessons the hard way as we try to determine what will work for our bodies. Thanks for the well wishes, it's creeping up that's for sure.
It all tastes good too, although ate my cottage cheese too fast at lunch today and really had an issue with stomach pain for about 3 hrs. I was at work and visiting with someone instead of paying attention to what I was doing. Learned a good lesson. Hope all goes well for you on surgery day.
I'm glad you can finally have pur'ee , Isn't it funny that something that once did not sound so good can suddenly sound like the best thing ever?
