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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
