I am having the lap band done there on thurs. Most of the Nurses in Dr Clinch's office had him do it there.
Another thing about Evergreen, i am a single mom and wanted to make the surgery was done at the best place and evergreen is it. They also carry a center for excelence certification.

Welcome to the loser's bench! I was able to sleep on my side with a pillow with no problem. Maybe try that or a recliner. I used my pain meds for a couple days at night to help with the pain but by Day 3 I didn't need them anymore. Each day you'll see remarkable improvement!

i had stomach stapled 2 years ago. have always been on dep meds. my doctors since my surg that provide me with dep meds dont seem to understand the whole mal-absorbsion thing, so i am now going to a phych doc that prescribes. about as clueless about this situation as my reg doc is??? my question is, is there a professional in the south king county area who understands us and knows what to do? i am not bipolar, but depressed, take ambien at night and have been REALLY been suffering from severe rage and anxiety.i recently lost my job so that just makes matters even worse. i am currently taking pristiq and trileptal. my doc gave me valium and that didnt even phase me one bit????  wth is going on???? PLEASE HELP?

 Hey Jackson!
It doesn't look like this Wa forum gets as much traffic as the RNY surgical forum, so maybe you should cross post it there, as well as maybe the Lap band forum, or any other WLS procedure that Evergreen does, to get some responses, cause I know the peeps are out there!  You will get this done, Evergreen, here we come!!!
