Brooke,
I agree with Helen. I am looking forward to hearing her speak again. I am about a year out. I feel the ugly head of my bad habits rearing their heads. Want to be prepared and not get into those things again.

Hope to see you there.

Topic: RE: Breast Reduction & Lift
Dr Daniel Downey... I think he is the North Seattle area.... he has been listed on "Best Plastic Surgeons" in the Seattle area.  Breasts are his speciality.

A friend of mine just had his partner do a breast reduction... from a HH to a C-D cup... she looks great!

Topic: RE: Please come to Marysville support group!
yay! Glad to hear you are going to make it to the meeting!

... if it helps any, Grandview Village is on the Right side of the road (when you are traveling towards the Y from State Street/West) just a few blocks before you get to the Y- of course if you are driving from the direction of HWY 9 (East) it will be on your left just a little past where the Y is...

Topic: Evergreen Medical Center (Kirkland, WA)
Has anyone had their Gastric Bypass surgery at Evergreen Medical Center over in Kirkland, WA? I have been told by my insurance that if I want to have the surgery I have to have it done there. I just want to hear from people who have had theirs done there. Which Doctor did you have? How was the staff? How was the stay? Were any of you traveling a long distance to Kirkland? How would you rate your overall experience?

Thank you much!

Hello,

I'm new to Obesity Help and message boards, so bare with me;) I'm more than three years out, and I still have a HARD time with grazing. I'm trying very hard to keep my stress level down and that been helping me some. I am determined to succeed because I'm not going back to where I was!

I am thinking about going to hear Katie Jay speak in Seattle. I don't live in Washington, but will be out that way for business. Is anyone planning on going to the Seattle Ba****hink it's March 11th? I've heard Katie speak before and she is very motivating. Here is a link to her event ...

I read a lot of books on staying positive and on emotional eating. If anyone has a good one to recommend, I would appreciate it! Thanks for listening,

Brooke

Topic: RE: I have surgery date with Dr Clinch. How was your experience?
Well good luck! I am sure you will make the right choice. It is such a life changing thing. I am only 3 weeks out and wow, if only I had the opportunity to do this years ago! Let me know if you have any questions or just need to chat!
