Fantastic experiences with Dr. Srikanth and the Center for weight loss surgery

About 10 years ago I attended Dr. Srikanth's informational meetings but was apprehensive about taking such a drastic step in getting my weight under control. One month ago Dr. Srikanth performed the sleve and duodenal switch on myself. My only regret is not doing it 10 years ago. I am a 52 year old male, 6'6 in height and was 430 pounds at my heaviest point. I had type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. At this point, two months into my journey, I have lost 75 pounds, my blood surgars are near normal and my life expectancy has changed significantly. Dr. Srikanth performed the sleve on my wife and she is down 25 pounds since she started. We selected Dr. Srikanth due to his experience and program which doesn't stop after the surgery. Post op he and his team meet with you to make sure you are getting all of the nutrition your body needs and his patients meet once a month to share whats been working for them and what's not. If you have done all of the diets and still are struggling with health conditions due to obesity, I would highly recommend Dr. Srikanth and his team at the center for weight loss surgery in the Pacific Northwest.

What made you choose Dr. Srikanth as opposed to the other St. Francis doctors. I'm looking at just the sleeve and debating between Dr. Houseworth and Dr. Srikanth .

Congrats on your progress!

Good morning Jen, I selected Dr. Srikanth because of his years of experience. He has performed over 4000 bariatric surgeries. I also asked to get referrals from him. Spoke with two individuals about my same age who has the same procedure and received glowing reviews. In addition he has great follow up. Within a few days of surgery he has you go in for an upper gi o verify everything is working as it should. He or his assistant availble 24 x 7 if your having problems. He has a two week follow up appointment then monthly. In addition his patients meet monthly to share with each other. I didn't do any research on Dr. Houseworth. My wife Sandy has had the sleve procedure done and is having a slower recovery than I, but we are all different. I wish you the best and recommend if you have the procedure to clear your schedule for 4 to 5 weeks as it takes some time to regain your energy and stamina. Jim

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
