Good morning!

Does anyone have recommendations of a dietitian/nutritionist in King County (or even North Pierce Co) who has experience with weight loss surgery patients?

Thanks! 

Met him 12/2001 in NJ;  He moved from NJ to WA 05/2002;  Married 06/2006;  Attempt #1 2008 with Clomid and metformin, no luck.  Decided to go back on BCP;  LapBand 09/2009 at 371.1 lbs.  Got down to 268 by 2012;  Went off BCP 08/2010.  Started Metformin;  BFP 05/01/2011 followed by MC 05/13/2011 (Friday the 13th of all days!). Upped Metformin 09/2011;  Continued on Metformin.  On 10/28/2012 (3 days before semen analysis), had BFP :)  Due date 07/07/13 by size of baby but 6/30/13 by LMP.  Taken off Metformin at 8 weeks due to elevated liver levels.

Danielle Dekay is the nutritionist at Swedish Hospital WLS.  I don't know if she takes patients just for nutritional counciling but I can ask her.  I have her e-mail address and know her quite well. 

Let me know if you want me to ask her.  She's awesome!

P.S.  The next support group meeting for the group I started is on April 24th.  We meet in Tukwila so it's close to you.  Let me know if you want to come.  We meet on the last Saturday of each month at 9a.m.

I really like Michelle Hobbs and Julie Taborski at Virginia Mason... Michelle works out the the Federal Way clinic.. and Julie Taborski works out of the downtown clinic.  Both of these women are very knowledgible about WLS ... and are occasional speakers at Virginia Mason's 3 support groups.
