Cathi Leary-Swinford Dietitian / Nutritionist

I HAD A ONE ON ONE MEETING WITH MELINDA ABOUT 2 MO. BEFORE MY SURGERY SHE HELPED ME OUT SO MUCH SHE WAS GREAT

They are all "A's" at St Vin Carmel. Really enjoyed the class!!

They always answered question I had. Very helpful.

Had appointment for class December 13th.
They came to see me a couple of times in the hospital to make sure I was eating and drinking ok and that I understood what I had to do when I got home.

Cathy felt, after talking with me in the Bariatric Support group at St. Vincent's Carmel, that I was not ready for surgery. My surgeon post-poned my scheduled surgery, & required me to attend 6 support group meettings & meet with the dietician and nurse practioner for a reassessment before I could go on. At first I was very upset about these actions, & disagreed profusely, & so saddened. After meetting these requirements, I feel much better prepared for this surgery, & feel my road afterward will be much smoother. I thank Cathy so much for recognizing my anxiety and needs to do these things first. God bless you Cathy!

The dieticians at Dr Huse's office are extremely helpful and concerned about the health of their patients. They are available at any time if there is a question

I saw Cathi today, and she was very sweet. She made me promise to stay upbeat and to not get discouraged.
