Roxanne Bijold Dietitian / Nutritionist
Roxanne gave me the handout telling me what I would need in terms of drinks and food before my approval of insurance. This has made a tremendous relief on my stress level for finances. Now I can try products before surgery to know if I will like them or not and how much they will cost so that I can be better prepared for my upcoming surgery.
They did not seem to keep any records of my food diary, when it came to submitting to insurance, I had to do one week all over, because they could not remember my case.Computers should be used for this, I was not impressed with the way things where done. The main nutritional aspect was very good. It is the paperwork that is very important for this kind of surgery and insurance.
Roxanne is a fine dietician UNLESS you need something out of the ordinary level of care. I am allergic to milk, wheat, and yeast. She assumed "Milk Allergy" meant "lactose intolerant". I am allergic to milk - lactose, casseinates, whey - all of it. She gave me a milk-laden product (Glucerna) to use, and I used it after questioning her. After two days of diahrrea, I called and asked for something else. She had no answer, so I went out and found something on my own. Again, if there are no special needs, Roxanne would be okay.
