demsvmejm hi i have a few ??? for you. did you have to do the protein drinks, what kind did you use. have you had any problems since your surgery. sounds like you did not have a good experience with dr's office. my pcp has said nothing but great things of dr's office. the process for me has been quick. the only problem i had was the phsy was out of network so i have to pay out of pocket. sounds like you are doing great, keep up the good work sue:kiss2:
