Let's do an old fashioned "Meet and Greet!"

If you are a pre-op, post op or just looking into surgery come out and say hello! Hi - My name is Janna and I live in Silverdale. I am awaiting for insurance approval and hope to be having surgery with Dr. James Weber in Seattle next month!

Janna - I have a date of Jan 3rd. I am in the middle of getting all of the tests done before my surgery. I was approved in 2 weeks with KC Traditional (Boeing). I don't know about you - but I am looking forward to the "down sizing". Susan

Congrats Susan on your Jan. 3rd date! I can't wait either. Been waiting for 5 years to get everything in line and the right insurance.

Glad to hear that I am not alone in this either. I am 48 - mom of a 22 year daughter and grandma to Tanner - age 3. I want to get my life back. I have lived in this area most of my life. I did live for a period of time in Key Center outside of Purdy so I know where Silverdale is. My boyfriend works in Poulsbor. So what does your husband this of this? He is he being supportive?

Susan!! My name is Tracy, and I'm pretty new around here. I'm working toward my lap band surgery and am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now , but this place really helps - what an awesome find!! I just read your profile and see that you are looking for a 'buddy' in your area. I'm in PARKLAND!!

Hey Janna~ My name is Cindy, and I am in Wenatchee. I had an appointment with Dr. Macfarlane on the 12th of this month, and am now trying to lose 30 pounds so we can set a surgery date. I am trying to figure out how to lose the weight, and keep my check book balance in the black. Cindy

Hey Cindy - Nice to meet you. Do you have all of your requirements completed? I know you will lose the weight you have to lose! You wouldn't have gotten this far and not finish right? Good luck, keep me posted! Janna

Hi, My name is Kathy and I live in Surrey, BC, Canada. I have a pre-op appointment with the Wish Center on Nov.3 in Renton. My surgery date is Nov.15th, my insurance approval came about 2 weeks ago after 6 months of getting it all together. I have never felt so many emotions all together at once.

Hi Kathy, I love Canada! Congrats on your Nov. 15th date. Not much longer! I understand all the emotions! Good luck and keep us informed.

Kathy, You'll love Dr. Alperovich. He's the best. I had my surgery over a year ago and wouldn't change a thing. Good luck. Kristin Lap RNY 9/7/04
