"I loved most of the nurses. Although I don't remember the name of my favorite (Diane possibly?), she stood out from the rest. She was ready for any kind of question, took the best care of not only me, but also my family and friends, and she had a sense of humor! We'd get chatting, mainly over the surgery and related topics, but she was very informative about everything."
"My first impression was at the seminar put on by Dr. Snyder. If you want any kind of appointment with him, you HAVE to attend a seminar. I really liked that idea simply for the fact that it's a matter of getting straight facts from the surgeon himself rather than reading somewhere in a magazine or gossip from a friend's cousin's aunt. I was really impressed by the way he handled the pressure of not being able to start his seminar because of the lack of a projector. He had his assistant go out and buy one from across the street and started anyways with introductions. rn At first, when Dr. Snyder throws his credentials at you, it's somewhat overloading. He has studied in a lot of great areas with a lot of different significant people and I think that has made him to be the rounded, personable person he is. We never talked at the seminar, but afterwards, I was stoked to meet him face to face to see if that was really him or if that was just a front for a presentation.rn Well, turns out, he is truly as genuine as he was at his seminar. He complimented my kids (and my friend's son) on how beautiful they are, despite the fact they were rearranging everything in his waiting room. The kids stayed out in the room while Dr. Snyder took me back and weighed me and took my \"altitude\". We talked for a while about the new patient packet that I had filled out and he thought that I was superb for the surgery. He did speak fast, but I expected that. What I didn't expect was a doctor, much less a surgeon who actually got where I was coming from. I did go in with the idea that I was too young and I still should just get off of my ass to do more and eat less. Dr. Snyder's outlook on it all really has made me feel better. He took the time to answer my questions and he said he'd like to have this done within a month (that was May 18th). All I have to do is my pulmonary and a GPB (?) for my heartburn, and then it's time to wait. rn Dr. Snyder really is a person that you wouldn't expect to actually be from this day and time. He cares, he's compassionate, and he's obviously phenomenal at what he does with so many happy patients who have gone on to lead healthier, happier lives. I am truly blessed to know such a kind person. Such a truly real person doesn't even qualify for a rating. I would have liked to have gone over everything pre and post op as far as nutrition and what I should expect physically, but I know that would take a lot of time and there are classes provided strictly for that. Dr. Snyder is definitely a nine and a half out of ten. rn Dr. Snyder deserves a 9.75 out of ten. As for his staff, they all work together as a team to get things done for me, which I really, really appreciate. The communication between them must be awesome to have such a great practice going on, but the communication with me of what's happening could have been improved a lot. Confidently, I'd give them an 8.5. "
"I like it. I actually prefer it over regular chocolate milk. It dissolves easily, even in milk (the only way I drink it). Plus, it doesn't have too much of that funky protein drink smell. If I don't like the smell, it's not going in me. lol"
