"I tried regular pills & chewable ones to get my calcium citrate and found them all to be difficult to swallow or horrible to chew. I'm very happy w/ the T. O. Liquid--so much easier to just take 1 T.--and it tastes pretty decent too!"
"Before meeting Dr. Rohrscheib, a friend of mine had recently had the bypass surgery w/ him & had already told me a lot about her very positive experience with him and the surgery. When my husband & I went for my initial consult a year ago, we were both pleased with Dr. R's manner & presentation of the facts. He took plenty of time explaining & illustrating the RNY procedure and answering our questions. If I didn't understand something, he re-answered it in a way that satisfied me. He explained the surgical risks in a way that we felt very informed but not scared to death! I also asked about the lap band procedure, and he explained the differences but also recommended the RNY for me personally. He also explained what my likely results would be as far as weight loss goes. So far, that was the only time I have talked to Dr. Rohrscheib. In regards to surgical competence vs. bedside manner, I would far prefer the first; however, the latter would make for a much more positive overall experience! In my limited time w/ the Dr., I can't really come up w/ anything I disliked about him. The office staff--I can't say enough good about all of them, from that first visit all through this past year while I fulfilled all my insurance requirements and then ended up having to appeal BCBS/IL's decision to deny me. All the ladies were absolutely gems every step of the way--so helpful in every way. I will meet the dietician on 8/25/04, when I go for my pre-op tests, etc. I hope my entire experience is as positive as my dealings so far with Dr. R. & his staff."
"I'm still pre-op but am just trying some products for post-op. I chose this one b/c so many rated it as excellent (as in "OMG--it tastes just like Snickers!") In my opinion, the (huge) bar definitely would not be mistaken for Snickers!--however, it was decent/good enough that I will keep some on hand for post-op (so large they will last a long time). A slight metallic aftertaste."
