Hi,
I am looking for a good US surgeon as I am considering gastric sleeve procedure. I was hoping someone who has had this procedure could recommend one.
Thanks,
Kate

have you tried to get into the weight wise program?

The VSG forum would have more info on US surgeons... but I have to agree with Sarah! Have you considered the Edmonton based Weight Wise program?

Going through the program... I know how important having the guidance is and I have to agree with the old saying "Failing to plan is planning to fail", If you do find a US based doctor and go through them for surgery, make certain that there is more to your treatment than just Surgery.

See a nuitritionist, do a sleep study, make an appointment to talk to a psychologist. There are more issues at play to make people obese, it is not just the need to eat less.

This is a topic that gets debated a lot around here. See some of the older posts, there was one about a month ago about going abroad for surgery and needing follow up care when you get home.
