Topic: Doing Great 2weeks Out!
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was my 2week point and I have lost 37lbs since the day of surgery and 45 from official wiegh in with the Dr prior to starting The Pathway at Madigan Army Medical Center.
My surgeon was Dr. Sesesta and both he and his staff where great. The hospital itself was very very good. Lot's of attention and lot's of support and encouragement. My wife had the sleeve done the same day and she is also doing great. She has lost almost 20lbs since the day of surgery. We are both walking about 2 miles a day already and it feels really good. No real hunger, just some head games but not too bad. Protien is going down just fine and getting in our fluids. Looking forward to starting mushies in a few days. Good luck everyone!

Topic: RE: Where are you in Washington? Care to share a few details about yourself?
39F living in La Center (just north of Vancouver) and am getting ready to go to my first day of appointments next week unless I change to a facility in Portland. I'm on the fence between the two. Hoping to have VSG as soon as possible.
My hobbies are photography, camping, travel, hiking, reading, crafting, hanging out with my husband and kids. I am also a cake baker. Fun cakes like on tv.... except without the awesome facilities to bake in.
Summer has been great here and I'd be even happier if summer (the season) actually showed up. Maybe this fall??? (-:
Looking forward to making friends!!!

Hi, I am Stephanie, 60 F living in Snohomish...I had my surgery May 28, 2010 and have had an uneventful course so far. I have lost 32 lb since May 14, 13 pre-op and 19 post-op and had my first fill yesterday...went without a hitch and took about 15 min.
My younger (by 13 years)brother had lap-band in April 2009 with great results and he inspired me to get the surgery.
I have a knee that needs to be replaced and debilitating back problems that have kept me from working for three and a half years, so my surgery is my ticket back to mobility and knee replacement.
I am on Medicare and have Regence Med-Advantage and my surgery was 100% covered, for this I am extremely thankful. I was willing to self-pay, but since it is covered, I did not have to.
My surgeon is Dr Hunter at VM in Federal Way. It is a ways to go for fills and check-ups, but now I don't have to go quite so often, it isn't too bad.
I have an almost 2 year old male Labradoodle named Eddie
and he is our furry "child"...we have been married 43 years and have two grown children and 7 grandchildren that are 18, 16. 14 and 4 are twelve and a half. Our oldest granddaughter graduated from Sedro Wooley HS in June and is off to WSU in a week or so...
We travel a lot to visit friends and family in California, Lake Chelan and Maui.
Life is good despite some bumps in the road and our family and friends are the reason...
Hope to meet some of you, maybe a get together for all the Washington WLS vets???
