Surgeon Testimonial

David Suh, M.D.
Very professional with excellent credentials. Staff very helpful. Excellent aftercare. He has 4 organized support groups within 40 miles of my home. Rate him as an excellent surgeon. Surgical competence is better than his bedside manner. He answers questions, but is no very chatty--sticks to business.

    It's now been over 2 years since surgery --today is July 4, 2008. I've made it to Onderland (where you weigh under 200 pounds) and I've also succeeded in losing over 150 pounds on my RNY journey. Simple routine exercise, eating right, taking good vitamins, paying attention to lab results to see if you need additional vitamins, and attending support group meeting on a regular basis--these are the needed ingredients for my weight loss, and probably yours.

    I find that attending support group meetings an essential element for this surgery. I made good progress after surgery, attending meetings once a month. Then I "got lazy", and stopped going. In 5-6 weeks, I regained 22 pounds. That was my wake up call, and I begain attending meetings again. Eating properly, taking your supplements (I take calcium and the GBG Multi Formula Liquid Vitamin), routinely exercising, and attending group support meetings to be the proper "recipe" for success with surgery. I've lost that 22 pounds, and am down to 210 pounds now, the same weight I was when I got married in 1967, some 40 years ago. DAVE

Wasabi dried peas and dried veggie trail mix
on May 9, 2009 10:30 am

I also now have a dried veggie trail mix available. In comes in 12 oz bags for $5. Each 1/4 cup serving has 7 gr of protein. Dried edamame, dried peas, dried carrots, dried squash, dried taro, dried sweet potatoes, and dried green beans are in this mix. Very tasty. Each 12 oz bag is $5 and can be shipped with other items I have.  Photos and more informaation is at the bottom of http://www.liquidbariatricvitamins.com  --individual link won't function right with OH. Photo of veggie trail mix in my photos now.

Dried Wasabi Peas are now available.   Pricing will be 12 oz bags for $5.  The price I have to pay for the wasabe peas is 3 times more than for standard dried peas, hence the smaller bag.  For shipping in pick up at my local support group meetings. Photos will be posted when dried wasabe peas arrive. DAVE

Calcium citrate powder.
on May 9, 2009 10:26 am
I recently found some powdered calcium citrate. No flavor, and truly a fine powder. I've tried the NOW brand of powdered caclium citrate before, but it's gritty like beach sand.  3/4 tsp is about 600mg. Mixes well with foods, shakes, sauces, etc. $10 for a 4 month supply of 1600mg . There is no need to take 2 of  those BIG HORSE PILLS to get your 600mg calcium citrate supplements. New photo in my photos.

Unflavored Whey Isolate Protein
on December 10, 2008 9:03 pm
I recently found a source for an inexpensive unflavored whey isolate protein. 3 Tbsp is 25 gr of protein, or 2T = 17 gr of protein, with very mild flavor similar to evaporated milk. It can be mixed with foods or make your own protein supplement drinks.  It has no gritty texture, and mixes easily with SF pudding, oatmeal, soups, sauces, etc. Cost is $20 per pound, which is 35 servings of the  25 gr or 58 of the 17 gr servings.  Photo of protein in My Photos. Can be found at http://liquidbariatricvitamins.com/liquidbariatricvitamins/unflavored%20whey%20protein%20isolate.htm .  This is the most affordable whey protein isolate I have found. DAVE

Baricare protein supplement samples
on November 23, 2008 9:36 am
I just got some Baricare whey protein sample packs. These are full sized servings. I can send out 3 samples--1 chocolate--one vanilla--and one custard / pudding for free, when someone places an order for other items that are shipped flat rate shipping envelope or flat rate box.. This allows you to sample all 3 varieties without having to purchase an entire box for $12 plus shipping. 20 gr of protein--35-50% RDA of most vitamins, 100 % D, and 50 times the RDA of B12 per serving. Paypal to dave@ragdoll.com for payment. DAVE
