This is an old post but wanted to see what you ended up doing? I had provost and due to his neglect a few times and a crappy office staff I won't ever recommend them.

Right. I got that down, IF I remember to take the stupid calcium :/ sure wish I could take bith calciums Syu same time. Is there a magic max mg number for any med/vits/supps?

Hi everyone When taking your Vitamins and suppliments do you take them all at the same time? I take 1 Multivitamin, 1 2000mg vit d, sublingual vit B complete, 1 Fish Oil/Omega 3 pill, 10,000 mg Biotin and 2 Chondroitin/glucosamine tablets at one time. My one year bw came back fine, for what he tested (my MD/FP missed a lot of tests though because he didn't know, I don't think, but we'll get them all in Dec. I don't have a bariatric Dr anymore). I take the 500mg Calcium chews in the middle of the day but I usually always forget those. I wish I could just take them with the pills I take in the mornings and get them over with. I was wondering- if taking all those pills at the same time are they all getting absorbed ok? Because I have heard we can't take the 1000mg calcium at one time because of the absorbtion.

I was bypassed only because of having GERD. I don't have it anymore. If you have GERD it can get worse if you get sleeved. It may not but it can. My husband got Sleeved and did not have GERD or heartburn much but he does now.

A year out and I still feel weird with the compliments and double takes. I forget that I look different to others and wonder why they don't say Hi to me! lol The one statement I do not like though is if they ask or if I say I want to lose about 15 more lbs and they respond, "No! You're already skinny enough! You'll have nothing left of you!". I get offended because why couldn't they have the balls to tell me to stop eating because I'm already too fat pre wls?? ugh I am not ungrateful for the compliments but it is getting old. I am not comfortable addressing it anymore. This is just HOW I am now and I finally match what I have always thought I looked like.

HELP please!! My friend is in dire need for a gastro dr who treats bariatric (rny) patients immediately! Any recommendations?

I don't recommend dr Provost either.

True but I think truth could be a difference of opinion as well. I just hope people trust their gut. I should have trusted mine at the first meeting with Dr Provost and a few times after that when I questioned his care, or lack thereof. If anyone wants details of me and my husband's experience please pm me but ultimately just trust your gut. I didn't and that's my only regret with this whole experience. Also, go to at least a few orientations or one on ones with a prospective bariatric dr before settling on one.

I just worry about slander, defamation of character but I also know that he did it himself by his treatment of me. I cannot excuse his negkect of ignoring me when I was suffering in 100% pain after surgery when he refused to give me a pain med that works on me after I told him what does work ans that morphine, diladid and others don't have any affect on me(he put me on morphine anyway). 9 months later and I still hate him for that. Pure neglect. Even the nurses were on my side. There were other major (imo) issues as well, not just with me but with my husband's care we quit seeing at 3 months post op. I have learned of a couple others who have had bad experiences with him and/or his staff (which was bad also)

yes, measure. It took me a good 3 months or so to feel any kind of fullness. It's been 9 months and I still don't feel it until it's too late. ack! Then I don't feel too great. blah Measure measure measure

If we do not recommend a Dr should we post that and why?

Weekday moat parole????? Stupid autocorrect. I think that's supposed to be "a trigger" or something like that. I forget.

560 true false questions, they'll ask why do you eat in search of underlying issues that need to be worked out for you to be successful with this. I don't have any triggers so if you are like me then I suggest lying to them so that she won't keep drilling you and make you cry and feel like shit because you don't have weekday moat parole have that made us overweight. Ya, I hated my psych and have never went back. Hopefully yours will go smoothly
