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

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

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've heard he and his staff are wonderful... Almost like a pampering yourself vacation! Good luck on the surgery and keep us posted

I am going with Puget sound.. so far it is great... My surgery is Nov 15

How did the surgery go for you?

Hello, well I am home!... i had the surgery monday morning ( I had mine done in the hopsital though due to my high BMI) went AWSOME! Dr, billings did my surgery... he was good. my after care was great.. I have 5 tiny little incisions 1 little bigger... I have had no nausea, painful gas, or troubles eating or drinking.. Personally I feel it is worth the money to spend.. you get 2 years following NUt and fitness and groups and what not... I defintly had some pain inside my tummy... starting to get better 3rd day

Which Hospital did you use? Just one night? Who did you see at NUT?

like I said because of my High BMI it was done at Swedish Stevens hospital in Edmonds.. Coming from canada which our health care is good... this hospital was AMAZING I have never been cared for or treated so amazingly ever!!! ther employees seemed liek they actually liked there jobs!!! .... hospital is a bit for expensive but they were a little worried about complications... but there was none and Id rather be safe then sorry .... i have heard they normally do most sleeve at there center which is great as well!!!!! I went home the next day from hospital

Who did you go with? Sat they quoted $16,300 for VSG,

I just wanted to see how you are getting a long since your surgery. I have apt with them on the 9th to get thing started, well see how that goes.

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.
