I am 18 months out and when I saw your post I had to smile.... "she" is indeed a Nut, also very pushy, condecending and I have caught her in a few lies!

I like everyone else there, Dr Larson is great, a skilled surgeon who always knows what to do. My very favorite is Kendra, she not only has an awesome personality, shes very compaaionate, at smart too!! Good luck to you in your journey!

OMG I am so glad to have seen these posts about "her". I almost didn't have it done there because of her. Dr. Simon is my surgeon, but I like everyone else. Monday is my surgery! I am excited and nervous. I have another "therapist" here in PSL that I relate to much better. Thanks goodness!

terrible bedside manners but staff was great except the phycologist is a NUT CASE!!!!....she needs head help!!!

I had a fairly good experience. I found everyone, including the psychologist, to be professional and caring. I never felt rushed, or as if I was a bother in any way. I appreciated the crisp businesslike approach because I am not a touchy feely type of person myself. As professionals they have a fine line to walk. they have to be careful not to be misread in any way.

Besides, I believe the results are more important than whether or not I would wish to socialize with anyone on the team. I believe most staff people are more public oriented than the Medical professionals in most cases regardless of the field they may be in.

I thought they did a bang up job all the way around and I will forever be greatful for their expertise and service.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
