Advice on a Dr. in Maryland

Unfortunately Dr. Schweitzer doesn't take my Insurance

Bummer! Good luck finding someone. Make sure to check him/her out thoroughly. Aristea

Here's another vote for Averbach and Singh. Dr. Averback just did my lap RYN on Thurs. and what a smooth ride so far. Much better than I expected! He even found a Hileiel (sp?) Hernia and fixed it in the process. What a Blessing! He's great! Lot's of great support through their office as well. Suze

Hi, my name is Tara and my surgery is April 30th with Dr Averbach. I'm starting to get nervous. I've had 2 c-sections and my recovering was fine, so I'm kind of hoping that this will go well to. Can you tell me where did you get your protein drinks and powders from and your vitamins. Where they the ones off of the list that the nutritionist give us? I hope you are doing well and if you have time can you write back. Thanks

Hey Tara!! Wow! April 30th is right around the corner. You'll do just fine. I am using the Perma-Lean powder and I got it from Freedom Pharmacy in Arbutus. I got it right off the list from Arlene. I also got my vitamins there too. Although, David's Natural Market carries the vitamins and I will probably be buying my vitamins from them since they are so close to me. Dr. A is wonderful, you are going to do great. My recovery is really going well. Much better than i ever expected. I am finding that i am not having a hard time getting liquids in at all!!! I do have to use the Perma-Lean to get all my protein in right now since i am only 6 days post op. You will find that you will get creative, fnding many different things to add protein powder to. I also bought some Designer Whey Protein at GNC because i wanted something with no flavor that i could add to foods. Good luck and God Bless, i'll see ya on the losing side. suze

I have not seen anyone post anything about GBMC doctors and that is where I am going for the informational session this weekend, should that be a bad sign to not see any post about that hospital / doctors?
