WOW. Your ROCK!!  Great investigation. I think that settles it for me. He has a coordinator right here in Canada.

Gee, I wonder if I will experience what it would be like not to have food rule my world and my every thought. Maybe it won't happen. I see a lot of posts of many post ops struggling with "cravings". However, my use of PGX has taught me that feeling full definitely makes me stronger to fight those cravings.  I have nothing to loose. Even a little relief is better than where I am at now & the trajectory that I am on. Hopefully I'll be posting again within a month with a post op comment.

Thanks again Dixiiemom64

The only bad review that I've seen was his coordinator lol after reading his review.. I may have found myself a Dr:) it's looking like his charge is 4200 but I'm not sure what all that includes. Air fair is definitely not included .. I'll get more facts Monday. Thank you for mentioning him. I don't know how I missed him. Oh and the hospital ( not clinic) looks very nice!

LOL too funny. So far, though, she has been pretty responsive to me.

I'm hoping to schedule by the last wk in June or 1rst wk in July. I won't know more until after I talk with the coordinator.  I think it would be great if we could be there at the same time.

Wishing you a healthy day,

Royalfreedom
