Looking for a VSG Surgeon in the Seattle / Tacoma Washington area, any suggestions or experiences?

I did not use them, but attend their monthly support groups. Puget Sound Surgical Center has some excellent surgeons. Two friends had VSG there with GREAT results and f/u care.

I love my surgeon, Dr. Nguyen at Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue-plus I received excellent care- and I am doing great! Also there is a wonderful support group associated with the hospital and you are welcome to attend before surgery. It is an excellent way to talk to folks who had the surgery and hear first hand about thier experiences. check out weight loss surgery on Overlake's website-ther's a schedule for the support group if you are interested in attending.

good luck

Based on where you live, you might want to attend our group in Marysville. We meet the first Thursday of every month (so the next one is tomorrow night). It is a combined group of all WLS patients, but several VSG'ers attend.

You do not need to have had surgery to attend. All are welcome.

Thanks for the invite, but, I live in Kent, so it would be quite a drive.

I had my surgery October 25th with Puget Sound Surgical Center. They are awesome! Dr. Billings even called my mother in Oklahoma to let her know I did fine and was very impressed he did this himself and not an assistant

What do think of the NUT folks over at the Wellness Center. My issue with the center is that its long way to go for the apts, I live in Covington. How are you doing with the diet?

I just wanted to let you know I canceled my appointment. I decided to change surgeons. Only because of cost. There was nothing wrong with Puget sound. Like I said they we're very nice.

My first visit prior to surgery was about an hour.. I've only had one since my surgery and I had a few questions, so it was good. But, I agree, it is long for a drive all the way from Covington! I honestly dont look forward to going

Im doing good on the diet, but having a hard time mentally going away from the mushy part of the diet! Afraid Im going to mess it up or stretch out my stomach even though I know I cant at this point.

Hang in there with the NUT center... who did you see? There's one that is awesome and the other I could care less for

I have decided to go to Mexico. There is a really good surgeon there and it is half the cost. I am self paid so it makes a big difference. My surgery is set for November 25th.
