Tiffyxox reacted to starspring in Long Island Surgeons ?
I actually am using Dr Hall in the practice. So warm and encouraging. I went to Ahmed and did not like his staff at ALL.

Tiffyxox reacted to Bufflehead in Hospital bag
lip balm, a long charger for your phone, and a soft cotton sports/leisure type bra (no underwire) that fastens in front. And no matter how many helpful replies you get here, pack about half as much as you think you need. This is major surgery, not a spa vacation, and the hospital will have what you need.

Tiffyxox reacted to Alex Brecher in Is / was your nutritionist all that helpful?
Tiffyxox, many WLS patients may share your experiences and opinions, but there may be additional considerations. One is that not everyone can afford a personal trainer, whereas some sort of nutritional counseling might be included as part of your WLS package. The other is that not every WLS patient will take the time to find, read, and pay attention to nutrition magazines. Just like some people use personal trainers to hold them accountable (and not necessarily teach them intricate exercises), you can use a nutritionist to make sure you learn the WLS diet properly, even if you “could” learn it on your own. Not everyone will.
Alexis Brown,
Having a surgeon give detailed diet info can be very expensive for the clinic, and drive up your costs. That’s because surgeons make way more than nutritionists. Having a surgeon spend say an hour talking about nutrition would be way more expensive than having a nutritionist talk to you for an hour.
That’s assuming the surgeon is qualified to teach nutrition (may not have had a single nutrition course ever) and interested in doing it (may not love nutrition…may love surgery and be interested in obesity)
