Dr. Ross McMahon - Seattle, WA



Recommended Posts

I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. McMahon at Swedish Hospital in Seattle. I met him at an information session and came away with a very good impression. Has anyone used Dr. McMahon for their surgery, and would you recommend him to others?

I had a sleeve with Dr. McMahon just three weeks ago. I think he's fantastic. I was off my pain meds within three or four days. I'm having some problems with nausea, but he's been incredibly attentive and helpful in dealing with this stuff. I highly recommend him.

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. McMahon in January. How is everyone doing now? Is the weight staying off? Were you happy with Dr. McMahon's follow up?

I had my surgery on 12/11 by Dr. Peter Billings. Pudget Sound Surgery Center. However, he also has privileges at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. I had an awesome experience! They have just been such a blessing in my life. My sleeve was done at Evergreen Hospital. Wonderful staff that made you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend Dr. Billing.

Hi Carmella,

I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. McMahon on January 8th. I met him and Danielle (one of his dieticians) at their info session in August and was very impressed with them and the program. Every person I have interacted with on his staff has been helpful and friendly and I couldn't be happier with the way things have gone so far.

My husband and i had our surgeries in May and are doing great! My husband has gone from 318 to 189 currently (we had the same starting weight yikes lol.) and I am inching towards goal. I can't say enough good things about the folks at Swedish WL - You guys should go to the support group meetings which meet every second saturday of the month - I am hoping to make melsue's acquaintance soon :)

Best of luck you guys - it can sometimes be a bit rocky after surgery but it is soooo worth it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
