Seattle & Tacoma WA Surgeons?



Recommended Posts

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.

Good for you! I've heard A LOT about Dr Aceves. Is that who you are going too? Good luck to you! It will be a Thanksgiving you will never forget :D

Dr.Aceves is who I am going to. This will be my last Thanksgiving as the fat girl. Can't wait. Wish my surgery was today.

I am scheduled to have the sleeve with Dr. Landerholm on December 8. I had to do the three month pre-op for my insurance, and found both the surgical staff and the nutritional folks at Pacific Nutrition were VERY helpful and conscientious.

      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.
