"When I was trying samples, this was the one I found tasted the best - like a chocolate milkshake - ironic. Anyway, it's a great product I still use after 6 years post-OP. The only con is that it is a reconstituted whey which is tougher to get into solution."
"Dr. Greene's program was a ritual which I did appreciate. He made sure his program ironed out the details in full in an exhaustive program he ran week after week. At the end of three group sessions, you would EVERYTHING about RNY - both good and bad. The group classes were a similar slide show presentation of RNY for 45 minutes, then sessions split off into pre-OP and post-OP. Dr. Greene used his patients as his best tool of indicating how you would be affected by RNY. The testimonials given by the patient's varied from week to week, and eventually you found someone who almost walked in the same shoes you had. More importantly once you found that person, you could see how RNY affected their life both in positive and negative manners.rnrnI thought Dr. Greene was an excellent surgeon, but his manner was cold. He spoke about the surgery before and after analytically as if it didn't happen to you. Evidently, I had done so well on a glycogen-reduction diet before the surgery, he embellished at the post-surgery session with other how he performed the surgery in 4 incisions rather than 5 because my liver was so small from the diet.rnrnDr. Greene's ethics were excellent. He provided direct criticism of particular surgeries (such as RNY vs. LapBand) and held nothing back if graphic detail was needed to prove his point. I felt Dr. Greene constantly undergoes a continuous self-improving process from the manner that he acts and speaks. I now see he has performed 1,100 RNY surgeries (I keep wonder which one was I), and he would continue to look for improvement within himself.rnrnI thought his staff was nice, but understaffed at the time. I remember 2 key nurses coordinating the entire program. I remember office visits were horribly long, and somewhat disorganized.rnrnI moved away from the DC area about 6 months after the surgery. I received one call from the office to ensure I receive aftercare."
