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



Recommended Posts

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

      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.
