Dieter Pohl
"Had my first consultation with Dr. Pohl on May 30th, 2002. He's had lots of experience with laprascopic surgery and said he's only had to open once, which I found encouraging. He said he's done about 70 RNYs. My first impression was that he was all business and not the most affable doctor I've ever talked to but that was much less important to me than that he knows what he's doing. Since I've gotten to know him better, I think he's a very nice man, just a little on the quiet side, but very caring nonetheless. I've talked to other patients of his and they all loved him and felt they were given great care. They mentioned that he really has the respect of the nurses at the hospital he works out of. I feel like I'm in good hands. His office staff were very nice. Seemed like they were very familiar with dealing with the insurance companies. Jeanette, who handles that, said that Blue Cross is the best company to deal with for WLS, but she's not familiar with Anthem of Connecticut, my Blue Cross administrator."

Protein Blast Drink
"This is an easy way to get your protein in, and I imagine it would count towards water as well. I tried the Orange Passion Fit flavor. Tasted similar to Orange Koolaid, though less sweet, so I guess it depends on how much you like that! It has 17 grams of protein, only 1 gram of sugar and is 70 calories per 20 oz. If you don't like protein shakes or need a break from them, I think this would be a great alternative and it would be good for travelling or while on the run! I plan on trying some of the other flavors."
