Topic: RE: Puget Sound Surgical Center
You're welcome! I do beleive we are the only center providing this surgery as a day surgery. The experience was fine for me... You wake up a little woozy from the anesthesia and a little pain from surgery of course. I went home and took my meds and was great. You are down for a week or two post-op for recovery. You are mostly feeling drained, and you will be taking some pain meds as well. Our program has you returning to the center the next day to have an IV of fluids to ensure you are properly hydrated.
Feel free to email me for a faster response time. lol. I know all of the questions do not come to mind at the same time!

Topic: RE: Puget Sound Surgical Center
Thank you Katie! It does say something about a place when the patients want to work for them!
My only true concern is this is the only place I have seen that the sleeve is done on an outpatient basis. Everyone else seems to require 1-2 days of hospitalization. I certainly don't care to be in a hospital but I am worried about how I will feel afterwards and whether I will feel comfortable leaving at the end of the day.
Just how DO you feel afterwards?

Hi there!
I am 2 years out from my Sleeve surgery! I had a wonderful experience in their program and beleive it to be the best around. :O)
As of last month, I am actually working for the Bariatric Program at PSSC. I am honored to be able to help those who are struggling just like I was.
I am not a salesperson! I can get you any information you need - feel free to email me at [email protected] or call 425 778 2220 ext.216
There are a couple other people on my friends list here that were patients here as well. I am still trying to make friends - so don't laugh at how little friends I have.

Topic: Puget Sound Surgical Center
Has anyone had their surgery through Puget Sound Surgical Center? My experience so far has been great but just curious about feedback from anyone else about the surgery being "outpatient'.
