"Exccellent choice for new post ops since you can mix 1 scoop (30 grams of protein) in as little as 4 oz. of cold water. Later, I mixed it with 6-8 oz of sugar free lemonade and pureed frozen strawberries for a smoothie."
"11/12/05 Dr. Pehrsson will be my surgeon, but I won't be meeting him until we get closer to my surgery date of Feb 16, 2006. The surger will be at Huntington Memorial
NOTE: 9/8/05 Dr. Martin has left the Arcadia practice and I will have to choose another surgeon - probably Dr. Pehrsson who is Director of Bariatrics at Arcadia Methodist. I hope he will take me since Dr. Martin jumped ship. BTW, I found this out on my own and had to call the office to verify it.
6/05 Dr. Martin was was informative and reassurng. I also appreciated his total honesty. He answered questions in length without talking above or beneath my husband or myself. He listened patiently as I verbalized my fears and concerns and he was very empathetic and genuinely caring. He told me all he could about the pre-op tests, support groups, surgery and recovery, risks and aftercare. What he most emphasized was, that although he could give me all this information, what he could not tell me was how to live with the results after surgery. For that I needed to talk to WLS patients to hear from those who do live with it every day.
I have resarched Dr. Martin and am very comfortable having him for my surgeon.
I am sure that I will have more to say after surgery
