Postop Nutritionist recommendations?
I am 6 months postop and am looking for a good nutritionist in the Annapolis/Baltimore/Washington area. I had a 6-month period of time included with the nutritionist's fee through my surgeon's office and that time is up now. Since I have to pay for these services once again, I would like to get recommendations on someone different and someone experienced with longer-term postop WLS patients.
Any recommendations? Thanks!

Sue,
While everyone has their favorite, I give the greatest kudos to Charlotte Gollobin, who has many, many years of nutritional counseling experience for the bariatric patient. She goes back to Dr. Marcus (now retired), and then with Dr. Greene. Now, in addition to her loyal following from these two surgeons, she is working with patients from other bariatric practices as well.
Her office is on Old Georgetown Road in North Bethesda/Rockville, and is easily accessible from the Washington Beltway and I-270. Her telephone number is: 301.365.1622 (when she's not in the office, it will be answered by voice mail -- which she checks often); her fax number is: 703.847.0422.
Her e-mail address is: [email protected]
Good luck.
Leesa
