Topic: RE: Chlysta's Program
A friend of mine was sleeved last January and has lost over 90 lbs and another friend is on track for a January 2013 date. Both very happy...not sure about fees though and so much of the program depends on insurance requirements.

Best of luck!

Topic: Chlysta's Program

Anyone here go to Dr. Chlysta at Akron General?

He did my emergency Lap-Band removal last year and I'm considering him for a VSG now. What is his program like? If I remember correctly, from  five years ago, there is a large program fee and the decision to perform surgery was based upon your ability to follow program rules. Program rules included using their protein and vitamins and using their gym for exercise. 

I have scheduled to attend an informational seminar in December. I was hoping to get some info before then, I'm anxious to get started. :)

Thanks,

Shari

Hi Andrew - I live in Delaware and work in Columbus.  OSU Hospital has a support group that meets I believe 2 times a month.  You can get on their web site and find out the exact dates and times.  I had my RNY in April at OSU but I have never been to their support meetings.  You might want to check that out.       debbie
