"<B>1ST OF ALL, HIS RECEPTIONIST WAS SO NICE AND LISTENED TO WHAT I NEEDED IN LINE OF OUR TIGHT SCHEDULE AS WE WERE COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN. THEY GOT ME IN ALREADY ON 5/17/06. ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAD DR. CHUTE AND COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH KIND THINGS ABOUT HIM. BOTH HE AND JOANIE AND DR. DREWS FROM THE SEMINAR KEPT ON STRESSING THE FACT THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS, DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL AND WHICH NUMBERS TO USE. THE KINDNESS OF EVERYONE AT THEIR OFFICE ACTUALLY BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES AFTER BEING TREATED SO POORLY AT THE FIRST 2 CLINICS I HAD BEEN AT.rnTHEY BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO GET EVERYTHING DONE SO I COULD HAVE IT DONE ON 6/6/06, RATHER THAN HAVING TO COME BACK TO HAVE MORE TESTING OR SEMINARS TO ATTEND BEFORE MY WLS WLS.THEY KNEW THAT IT'S A GOOD 6 HRS. ONE WAY FOR US. JOANIE IS SO SPECIAL. SO JOVIAL AND PLEASANT. rnI HAD MY WLS ON 6/5/06,RATHER THAN THE SCHEDULED 6/6/06, WHICH WAS JUST AS WELL. 666. AGAIN I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE A FULL STAFF THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO CALL WITH ANY QUESTION, NO MATTER HOW STUPID, ANYTIME OF THE DAY. rnDR. CHUTE PUTS A BINDER ON ALL OF HIS PTS. IN THE O.R. HE FEELS THAT THE BINDER MAKES THE PT. FEEL LESS LIKE HE'S FALLING APART. HE ALSO REMOVES A STRIP OF MUSCLE FASCIA FROM YOUR THIGH AND PUTS THAT AROUND YOUR STOMA.rn<B>THIS CLINIC HAS 5 SURGEONS. ALL THAT THESE SURGEONS DO IS BARIATRICS. NO OTHER TYPE OF SURGERIES. rnrn<B>HE HAS US LEARN HOW TO GIVE OURSELVES OUR OWN B12 INJECTIONS EVERY MONTH.rn rn <B>ON MY 3RD WK. OUT OF WLS, I WAS ON A FULL DIET, AS TOLERATED BECAUSE I HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DIETICIAN STAFF AND THEY KNEW THAT I WAS HAVING NO PROBLEMS SO FAR WITH ANY FOODS. "
"everything was perfect except for one male nurses aide who didn't disinfect his hands before handling me and i felt like i was bothering him when i needed his assistance at times. but to make up for this, i had a super single suite. not just a single rm. but a beautiful rm with real wooden furniture, other than the bed. the suite was donated by a private party.
