hi all! my wonderful surgeon was dr. bernie hanna in las vegas. staff are kind and take their time with you. dr. hanna has excellent surgical skills ( have scrubbed for him on general surgical cases in past ) which is why I chose him! hospital stay was at desert springs and was there for two nights. very supportive and personally calls his patients within a couple days after discharge to check on you. could not have asked for a better experience.

yay!! finally found a Protein drink I can tolerate without the dumping syndrome! premiere protein from costco. go figure. I think because the main protein source is milk protein and not the whey. I've tried Bariatric Advantage, chike and Isopure. so glad someone on this site mentioned the rtd premiere protein. already feel a bit more energized and am starting to lose again! also ordered sibu sea buckthorn from amazon to help with the hormones and hair loss. highly recommended from my older sis who is pre-menopausal. this is a great site for info, support and encouragement! thanks all!

Anyone else have intestinal issues from protein drinks. I'm 4+ weeks post sx and am not able to drink the protein drinks. for sure am lacking protein intake and while doing okay now, concerned about long term. have tried bariatric adv and chike.
