No, no questions it is just that I have never seen his name on this website.

She has a great interest in obesity so is VERY supportive. 425-558-3800.    My surgeon is David Lauter and is wonderful and has a great reputation. He has been doing wt loss surgery for many years and is in Bellevue. He is affiliated with Overlake Hospital and has a partner Troy Houseworth so there is always someone to help you. 425-453-7888     We have a great support group run by Overlake. We meet twice a month at the hospital.  The group has a bariatric manager Christina Armstrong ,also a dietition and a therapist and they are all there each time and usually a surgeon drops in.   I have 2 grandchildren and my daughter loves their pediatrician. I can get his info for you
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I am a Realtor so I am used to helping relocation clients.
Looking forward to meeting you when you arrive

Just wondering if there are any patients of Dr Thien Nguyen of Overlake Hospital Medical Center out there.  I had my RNY on 9-10-10.  It has been a rough recovery.  I do not live in Bellevue area and so I attend a support group at Virginia Mason in Federal Way.  None of the members have had him as their surgeon.

By the way, he is not the the Dr Thien Nguyen at Group Health in Bellevue.

Hi Carrie!

Glad you're almost here. Can't wait to get a chance to meet you.

Dr. Billing in Edmonds will see sleeve patients who've moved into the area and he's one of the best sleeve surgeons in the state. He's been great to me. He took my band out and then would have done my sleeve if I'd won my insurance appeal. He's still happy to see me though and will be repairing a hernia I was just diagnosed with.

But I also think you'd love my primary care doc Dr. Julie Brogren. She is opening a new womens rejuvenation clinic in Woodinville which would be a reasonable drive for you. She has a lap band and her parents had their sleeves with Dr. Billing. Her clinic will offer follow-up care for WLS patients as well as all the other care a woman needs. She's at Mill Creek Family Practice up by me right now but her new clinic opens in January.

Hope your move goes smoothly,
Britt

 Hi, Carrie,
Welcome to Redmond!
I live here in Redmond, and can't say enough positive things about the doctors at Eastside Family Medicine in Bellevue.  Dr. Kraft is my primary care physician, and I love her.  So smart, and so down to earth.  Dr. Cooley is also excellent, as is Dr. Egnal (and, FYI, all three have been featured over the years as Seattle's Top Doctors in Seattle Magazine and Seattle Met Magazine).  As for bariatrics, I'm still shopping, thinking about the VSG, and have been impressed with Dr. Thien Nguyen at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. He is the director, and they are a Center of Excellence. 
Good Luck!
