"It seems well organized from pre operative through post operative levels of care. Alot of thought went into this facilities program for bariatrics. I really liked how the process was explained & how each department involved hd good take home info. I still review my info just to "re-center" myself to stay on my life long new eating journey. I have had 2 issues regarding having the surgery done, so i feel good about the Hospital choice I made because they kept in contact with me & informed!"

Calcium Citrate Chewables
"i got this with other items and for 3 month supply bolied down to about 30 a month. i choose cinnamon lozenges. there are really cinnamonie-hot when you try to chew them. alot like the oil. they are a bit chalky but taste good. they dissolve good too. so i pop these in 2-3 times a day while at work. no after taste and i did notice that i had a couple sore spots in the roof of my mouth but this was from sucking on them too hard. they do taste good. so i might alternate with the lemon chews to through in some variety."

Iron Chewable 60mg
"i got this with other items and all together the cost boiled down to 30 a month for 3 month supply. taste good but i did noticwe an aftertaste. it is tolerable compared to other iron supplements. better tasting by far. i take mine at night because i put calcium in everything during the day so since ya cant have them together i just wait a couple hours after dinner then chem the iron. passion fruit is good."

Chewables - Essential
"I ordered this with other items but overall the price was for 3 month supply and bolied down to $30.00 per month for them all. They taste like citrus and are chewable. no particular aftertaste that liingers and it chewed easily.i take with a bit of milk or cottage cheese. I like them."

"My insurance, Regence BCBS Federal Employee Program, gave me a complete list of surgeons specializing in the surgery I needed so it was easy and convienient to go on line and check out everyone to make my choice. I was amazed with the structure of the entire ordeal. How quickly it all happened and how convienient VM hosp & Dr. Hunters team made this possible for me.rnHis office staff was informative and reassurring. They gave me a packet each time I was there detailing the visit and my part of that step that I was at for my procedure. They set your appt before you leave and put it all in your packet.rnDr. Hunter himslef was really nice, he kept asking me if I had any questions. of course i wasnt sure what to ask but he would say just call the office we can help you if you think of any. He talked about risks, he statred with ones he encounters widely then listed them down to even minute ones that he doesnt see himself. His staff sends you home with brochures. He asks what your concerns are. He then details the procedure with drawings he does himself, of course the staff sends you home with actual color graphics for you to view too."

Bariatric Advantage
"After drinking this stuff for a week it donned on me that I can get more creative. So For me I use nonfat milk 12 oz. with a healthy shake of cinnamon &extremely well chilled."
