David Fallang
"I had an open Rouxen Y procedure done in December of 2002. I was thrilled with Dr. Fallang and his staff, my procedure went smoothly and my recovery was quick. I went from a size 26 to a size 8 in less than a year. HOWEVER during the following years I began to have complicatons. Unbelievable pain, rushed to the er in an ambulance several times only to be told they could find nothing wrong. Gall bladder removal, serious iron deficiency, B12 deficiency. Finally 2 years ago I went to the er again with excruciating pain and found that my entire bowel had twisted upon itself. When the surgeon opened me (within 20 minutes of my entering the hospital) my intestine was grey and cold from lack of blood supply. He later told my fiance that within the past year he had performed this same surgery on 10 of Dr Fallang's patients - only 5 had survived. I was told that Dr Fallang does the actual bypass surgery himself, but has teams who open, prep and close the patient, allowing him to do more surgeries. He supposedly did 24 operations the day of my surgery alone. While I am grateful for the surgery, the weight loss, and the return of my life, I would caution patients to do a LOT of research on long-term post op issues before going to ANY surgeon for this procedure. And believe it or not, Yes, I would do it again, even knowing what I do now, I would just do a lot more looking around before I chose a surgeon. "

Jay Robb's Whey Protein
"WOW! I have tried a few protein drinks lately and they were all nasty. This tastes just like Nestle Quick in 1% milk! It has 24g of protein per oz, mixes very easily with a spoon, 113 calories, 4 fat cal, 62mg of sodium, 3.5g carbohydrate, no fiber or added sugar. It uses STEVIA sweetener, not aspartame or any other artificial sweeteners. Also available in Soy or Egg protein. Really great! I think I've found a keeper!"

Sycamore Hospital
"Overall good experience."

"I have not yet had a chance to meet with Dr. Fallang or his staff in person, but the staff was very friendly and helpful on the phone and by email. 12/26/02 I went to the orientation seminar on November 14th with my husband. We were both very impressed with Dr. Fallang's salemanship. He nearly convinced my husband that this was a good idea! MIRACLE! LOL The amount of information was almost overwhelming, but very helpful to a control freak like me. I am even more convinced now that this is the route for me. "
