Topic: RE: VSG - How long were you in the hospital?

I opted for Outpatient - so I checked in at 6:00 am and discharged at 1:30 p.m.

I don't advise that for everyone, but I had my mother-in-law with me. She is a retired Surgical Nurse. I knew she could take good care of me & would get help immediately if she thought there was a reason to do so.

Revision from Sleeve to DS (with re-Sleeve) on 10/10/17. Slow and steady ...

Topic: Vancouver support group question

I was wondering if anyone goes to the support group in Vancouver at SW WA Medical Center through OWLS? I know it's on Wed. night, I think the 1st or 2nd Wed. of the month? I'm interested in starting to go, but I was curious if anyone from here goes to it. I work a couple miles from the hospital and don't get off work till 6:30 which is when the meeting starts. I would have to walk in late, and would feel better about that if I felt like maybe I kinda knew someone, or at least OF someone who will be there. LOL I will call the program and try to talk to the person who works with the support group, but thought maybe someone here might have some insight.
Thanks, Angie

Danielle Dekay is the nutritionist at Swedish Hospital WLS. I don't know if she takes patients just for nutritional counciling but I can ask her. I have her e-mail address and know her quite well.

Let me know if you want me to ask her. She's awesome!

P.S. The next support group meeting for the group I started is on April 24th. We meet in Tukwila so it's close to you. Let me know if you want to come. We meet on the last Saturday of each month at 9a.m.
