Hi everyone,

I am new here and am a Vancouver resident. I have been thinking about getting the sleeve done and have a consultation with Puget Sound Bariatrics on June 13th. I wanted to reach out to anyone that has had it done there and particularly any Vancouver (BC) residents that may have had the procedure done there. I would like some feedback and some info on how everything went for you and how difficult it was travelling back after the surgery. Obviously I have a million questions and would really like to buddy up with someone thats in the same area so I can chat with them about their surgery, progress ect... If you can help out with this please reply to this post or private message me. I really appreciate all the help. thanks so much!

I did a consult at Puget Sound Bariatrics but went with a different Dr. A couple of reasons why I selected a different Dr:

1. I'm a bit of a wimp and just felt that I would be more comfortable in the hospital for a couple of days rather than being released the same day.

2. My insurance gives me the best benefits but going to a designated Center of Excellence which in my area is Evergreen Hospital.

3. Felt more comfortable with the Dr I choose than the Dr I met with at Puget Sound Baritrics.

That being said, I do know other people that have gone there and have been very successful.
