Topic: RE: How does the Fobi Pouch differ from RNY?
Hi Tammie,
The surgeon that I have chosen does the fobi pouch, in fact he recommends it. It is a modification to the Roux N Y gastric bypass The surgery uses a silastic ring band around the stomach that functions as a stoma. I was told that it was most costly as well..oh yeah with more weight loss. Alot of patients I have spoken with have many problems keepin food down even after months and years have passed with the Fobi.....so I don't know what else to say to that. Hey I say make a informed decision!

Topic: RE: how do I get in 60g of protein a day??
Theres protein mix called BariCare it come in vanilla,chocolate and a creamy custard pudding its really easy and convenient you can mix it with 2 or 4 oz of water so theres no waste.You can find baricare online at wallgreens or go to Dave Chambers website at www.liquidbariatricvitamins.com Dave also sells a liquid vitamin that tastes like apple cider its a wonderful product. I also found a Protein mix call Z PRO 25 it comes in a 1.5 oz package and can be made into a pudding or shake its a little pricey but it has 25 grams of protein per package and baricare has 20 grams of protein per package.Both products are made for bariatric patients.If you were to have three 2 oz baricare shakes or puddings a day you would be at 60 grams a protien a day.Good luck.

Topic: Please help me with my thesis.
Hello
I am a WLS patient and also a masters student working to complete my thesis. I have selected "Obesity discriminiation in the workplace, and the impact WLS has on your work life." I am collecting data from WLS patients and would appreciate your support in completing an 11 question survey that takes no more than 5 minutes to fill out.
Results are confidential and you will not be asked to reveal your identity at anytime during the survey. I am comparing results from WLS patients versus hiring managers to see if there is a correlation in theory that overweight individuals are discriminated against in the workplace, and what happens once we lose weight following surgery.
Below is the link to my survey. I appreciate any support you can give me. Thank you for your time & consideration.
