I will be three years out next month. I had surgery at Swedish with Dr. McMahon. My outcome has been fantastic.

There is a local open support group that meets in Fife the second Tuesday of every month at the Poodle Dog. There are a number of Dr. Houseworth's patients who attend if you are interested in talking to some of them.

Good Luck

Hello. I had surgery at Overlake Hospital with Dr. Landers through Group Health. I will be 6 months out on 8/24. So far I have not had any complications besides getting a pill stuck for a bit and trusting chicken breast (don't do it). I was treated like a princess by the staff and nurses at the hospital. I started at 330+lbs with a BMI of 60+, super morbidly obese. I am now just considered just obese at 197lbs. I have lost 135lbs including my pre-op weight loss. Ideally I would like to get down to a healthy BMI which would be at 132. 65 pounds to go.

I wish you the best of luck with your journey. I has been a life saver for me. I have enjoyed every minute so far. It isn't east but it is so worth it!

My husband has his RNY with Dr Hunter on Dec 10th, 2014. He's doing good so far. Dr Hunter was so kind and caring throughout the whole process, I really liked him.

I see you posted this 6 months ago, but just found the WA group! Anyway, I had surgery with Dr Houseworth on 07/08/14.  He did my DS.  He's a great surgeon, and I really enjoy his Nurse Practitioner Kim as well. I go to all my follow-up appointments with her. Let me know if I can help with anything.
