Fills @ Pacific Surgical Olympia, WA



Recommended Posts

Hello!!! I was wondering if anyone has gone to the Pacific Surgical Center in Olympia Washington (Dr. William Neal) for fills. I know they will see patients who have been banded out of the country and they use "Fluoro". I only know of one person who has gone there and am looking for other peoples experiences. It will take me 2.5 hours to drive there, but their office is the only one close to me that uses Fluoroscopy when performing fills.

I thank all of you in advance for your thoughts, advice and experiences,

Lisa:cry_smile:

Hi there. I am also new to this site. I am considering Dr. Neal for my surgery when and if I can get final insurance approval.

It is looking good right now. I attended one of his seminars in Silverdale recently and really liked him and his staff.

Could you tell me more about your experience and how you are doing?

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Neal's office. He did my surgery and their staff is so kind and competent. If I had to make a 2.5 hr drive to have them do my fills, I would do it! Hope that helps.

I feel blessed to have had Dr. Neal perform my sugery. I hae worked in the medical field for many years and have rarely seen a surgeon have his pleasant and caring bedside manner. He is patient, encourages questions and is a warm and caring professional. He knows what he is doing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
