Carrie, I am going to Dr. Thein Ngyuen in Bellevue. I really like him. I have also met Dr Lauder in Bellevue and he is highly thought of in the support group that I attend.

Topic: Need some help getting labs a little better - Spokane Endo, anyone???
I knew I was slipping a little and loving my new life more than I was loving the work to maintain it.
My labs this last time has a few "L" markers on it where I am at the low end of the range. I need to find an endo in Spokane or even a DS savvy nutrition doc to oversee my program. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. EW

If you are in Washington and haven't heard yet, We are meeting from 1 to 3 pm at the Tukwila (Seattle) Applebee's the link is below. I am going to feel really stupid if I am the only one there!

Topic: Moving from DFW to Redmond need new doc
I am post-op VSG on 08/26/2010. I went back to my surgeon for my first post-op follow up and haven't been back since. Between the move and lack of physical issues other than the usual heartburn and an RX for PPI's I haven't needed to be seen.
I am debating even getting another WLS as my surgery is done, it's permanent but I'm worried about the "what if this or that happens" and I need surgery or a complication arises. I am covered under Premera BCBS PPO- Microsoft. They didn't pay for my VSG surgery but they paid to remove the Devilish LapBand that haunted me for 5 years and I paid the difference.
So does anyone have a great surgeon close to Redmond? I'm from Texas, so close to me is within a 30 minute to hour radius one way.
Thanks!

Check the mileage to Puyallup. I think it's over 100 i, but you can check. We have mtgs This week, Tues/Wed. You can bring a sleeping bag if you need to. Got an extra bed

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
