Hi, I used Dr. Shillingford and was self pay too. That said, I found out you get what you pay for! Dr. Wizeman operates in the same hospital as Shillingford (I only know that because my horrible, rude, lazy nurse referred to my surgeon as Wizeman every day). My experience with that hospital was horrible. I reviewed my experience in the hospital and insurance section of this site. I hope your experience is much better!

I had surgery with Dr.Wizman in

November at Broward Health Coral Springs. I had the best experience with Dr. Wizman and the hospital. I went to my first support group and even though I. Am on Bariatric Pal everyday Dr. Wizman made several points I found very moyivating. I have lost 45 # and I am delighted with the entire process. In the hospital I was given a pain pump, however, I was in no pain, if I moved, it felt like I did too many sit ups. I cannot say enough positive about Dr. Wizman and his staff.

Which hospital was it? I know Dr. Wizman operates out of two. How are you doing thus far? No one ever tells people this, but for future reference, you Always have the right to request a different nurse when in the hospital, if you are unhappy with your care. I'm sorry the experience was bad, but overall are you happy with your results? How was the liquid-puree stage?

Hi :) I am pleased with his staff and the supportive atmosphere. I feel very comfortable with him also. How are you doing now? How was your experience with the liquid-puree transition? Do you use any Protein Shakes?

I am still doing great. I had no problem with the liquid puree because the nutritionist told me I did not have to puree as long as I stuck to softer foods and chewed my food well. I am still having Protein shakes, but I am lucky that I like all of them. You will love your sleeve.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
