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

Green Tea Hawaii
on June 24, 2012 4:40 pm
                
Green Tea Hawaii, available in 12 packet box  with Original (aka Noni), Raspberry Lemonade, and Pineapple Strawberry. (4 of each per box). Also available in 60 packet box, with 20 packets of each flavor.  Green Tea packets are displayed in right photo. Each packet has over 450mg antioxidants, the same amount as in 45 cups of green tea.  Each 3.5g  packet is mixed with 12-18 oz of water. Each packet is 10 calories, less than 1g sugars. Original is less sweet, Raspberry Lemonade is a little higher in sweetness, and the Pineapple Strawberry is the sweetest. But sweet taste can be moderated by mixing with more water. Very refreshing, and none of the "lingering aftertaste" that seem accompany bottle green teas.  More info on my personal site, listed under profile photo, a couple of days after 6-24.  This is a new product to most areas and  not sold in typical stores.  I began drinking this tea daily, usually 1-2 and 3 on a couple of days over a 2 1/2 week time frame.  I dropped 8 pounds without any major changes in exercise or diet.  Helps me go #2 easier too.

     These vitamins are seen on my personal web site. High in B vitamins, have D3 and calcium citrate in them, high in antioxidants, and formulated for good absorption by a pharmacist.  Both seen on my personal web site.  1TBSP is daily dose, so 1 month bottle is 16 oz . A 2 mo. supply of the Super is also available from the order link, with 50% savings on 2nd month, and FREE shipping.  The pharmacist who fomrulated these vitamins is  affiliated with the American Pharmaceutical Association, the Prescription Compounding Centers of America and the International Association of Compounding Pharmacists. He is a graduate of Wayne University in Detroit, Michigan.
