"It is gorgeous. The bariatric rooms are designed very well for larger patients. The nursing staff was very nice. No bad experiences in the 2 days I was there. "

EAS 100% Whey Protein
"Not as sweet as I would have liked, but definitely tolerable as a protein shake. Mixed smooth in my Magic Bullet."

Merge - Vanilla

"I plan to use this product postop because it dissolves well in milk, no clumps, and tastes fantastic. Vanilla is versatile, as well, to avoid boredom with one flavor."

"He's very nice, very up front about what this surgery involves, what your choices are for surgery, and that it is your decision. I met him first a couple of years ago and my impression has not changed about him. His office staff is very nice, very well educated about this whole process and your requirements. His waiting room is very comfortable, and seats are large to accommodate obese patients -- a nice touch! A lot of emphasis is placed on the importance of lifelong lifestyle choices that have to be made for this WLS to be successful. There is a lot of postop care required by him, and that is stressed at your first presurgical consult. Risks of surgery are plainly stated over and over again, each time death being one of the risks stated. I would rate him a 10 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. I think he is both competent surgically and has a good bedside manner with patients. Now ... don't ask me as a nurse how I feel, because my opinion of surgeons in general is not real high on that side of things (just a hazard of the job...lol). Since I have worked for the hospital he practices at and know several nurses on that unit, I know he can be a bit uptight. But since he has a zero mortality rate, I don't mind him being uptight with nursing staff and keeping his patients safe. "

"I have never met a more caring physician with a better bedside manner. I have been followed by him for years and he has delivered one of my children. He has supported me in all of my health care decisions, including investigating weight loss surgery."
