Topic: RE: Calling Dr. Inman's patients
On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!
Hey...
Yes Dr. Inman does revision. I had the VSG wirh Dr. Cacucci 2 years ago. Dr. Inman made my VSG to a DS witch is the second step of the DS. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. Also she told me she did revision.

Topic: RE: vitamins?
I also use Bariatric Advantage and order direct from their website. I also get my protein powder from them and they do auto-refills with free shipping. I'm pretty sure you can also get samples if you want to try them first.

Topic: RE: protein shakes??
I personally like the ones from Bariatric Advantage and I've been getting the Isopure and Cytosport pre-mixed from GNC. I also have some Whey Free unflavored, but it's not my favorite and it doesn't mix as well as the BA.
One thing, if you plan on mixing from powders blender bottles are awesome!
ETA: If you go to GNC and plan on getting most of your stuff through there join the Gold Club and you get 20% off for the first week of every month. Also, most stores will give you a case price on Isopure and Cytosport if you get 12 or more at a time.

Topic: RE: which dr. is best for my location
I went through the Bariatric Center at CRH and I've had a GREAT experience. My surgeon is Dr. Lee and what a great guy! Not only is he a good person, but he's an excellent surgeon. My surgery was textbook, I had no complications and was up and walking very shortly after surgery. The team there has walked me through the process with no real bumps along the way. They've also been very friendly and kind, there for any questions I have. They took care of all the paperwork and knew exactly what insurance needed (approval w/in 36 hours). The support group is very good and they have good programs with local athletic clubs.
The only downside with CRH is they're only doing bands and RNY, so if you want a sleeve or DS you're not going to get it..
If you have any other questions about CRH feel free to ask me. If you're interested there is an information session and support group meeting tomorrow night. Dr. Dunkle-Blatter is doing the info session (she's also really nice) starts at 5:30 PM and the support group topic is "Best and Worst of Local Restaurants" and that starts at 7 PM.

Dr Margaret Inman did my RNY and I love her. She is very good. I choose her because she was recommended to me by an aquaintance. I looked into her and found she has been doing this for more than a few years and was highly rated. I am very happy with my choice.
I am only one, But still, I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do
the something that I can do.

Topic: RE: protein shakes??
I recently went to www.chikenutrition.com through a link from this website and got a free sample of all five of their protein shakes. I've tried 4 of the 5 so far and loved all the but stawberry. It was a little mild in flavor compared to the banana, chocolate and orange cream flavors. It didn't taste bad, just not as flavorful as the others. I haven't tried the vanilla yet.
If the link above doesn't work for you watch the adds at the top and hit the Chike one when it comes up. I agree with everyone else though. Save all your samples until after surgery. Anesthesia and major sugery mess with your taste buds!
