There is a DS support group meeting every 2nd Saturday at  Sizzler's Tukwila (near south center mall ) meeting room starts at 3:00pm. Great group, some are Dr. Srikanth's patient's.

 

Tacoma here, crazy schedule and infrequent babysitter BUT would love to go if my schedule works

Dr. Oelschlager is no longer doing bariatric surgery at UW, he's in a different department now. I was scheduled to have surgery with him too and got lost in the shuffle, which is what it seems is happening to you. Give them a call and ask them where you stand, and ask to meet with a new surgeon. I suggest Dr. Wright. I've met with 2 surgeons since Dr. Oelschlager left and the first one I didn't like at all, while Dr Wright seems to be really helpful, and I have confidence in him.
Good luck!

To add to the list... Swedish Medical Center is supposed to start taking Medicaid around August! Check with them and they will put you on their waiting list and call once they are certified and able to take it.

He called me today and changed my date to July 7th, his assistant was not available on the 30th, and I want a Medial bypass I won't know for sure what I got until I wake up, could be a switch or a sleeve depending on what he finds when he gets in there.

Hey Nancy,

I'm having my revision on the 29th.  It is hard as all get out, but I have found limited success with low carb.  I just have to constantly watch it.  What surgery are you having done?
