Dr. Ross McMahon - Seattle, WA

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
