Hello. I do not know much about St. Francis as early in my research I found info on Pacific Surgical in Olympia with Dr. Neal. That is who I wound up going with as I learned after I started researching that a co-worker, her sister and mom and my next door neighbor all went to him. They all look fantastic and I really really like my doc and all of his staff at the clinic.

I just wanted to throw this info out in case you wanted to research. One think I really like is that they do all fills with fluoro and although that is not a big deal to many.....it was to me. I like the eyes on things going on inside concept from the experts, instead of not having any visual until there might be a problem.

I had heard the doctors at St. Francis were good, specialized in gastric bypass but did not have much bedside manner. I wanted a good relationship with my doctor and he had to have personality. Dr. Neal is fabulous and they have info seminars all the time. You might want to check one out and if you have any other questions free free to contact me.

Good luck with your research and whatever you choose, I hope it is a wonderful and successful journey for you!

If you're shopping for a surgeon, you may want to look at Dr. Ross McMahon, head of Bariatric Services at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. That's who did my surgery, and I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. Excellent experience.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
