  1.    Elode reacted to a post in a topic: Doctor Passing Me off to Assistant
  2. I have a high respect for NPs and PAs. My mother went to a good doctor that got so busy with patients thay HAD to see the Dr. He never had time to spend with them. Therefore th NP found the cancer in my mother. I was a nurse for many years. I know nurse practioners are very thorough and schedule 20-30 per patient where a doc only schedules 10 min. and can be dounle booked.
  3. I haven't seen him yet. Went to the seminar. And filled out paper work.I want to know now so I can start shopping. Limited income its tough to eat right so if surgery is 3mos away I can start now getting what I need. What protien drinks do you get and the price if you know. Thanks
  4. What is the first thing you are allowed to have? I heard only broth for 2wks. Then I heard you follow the So Beach diet.
  5. I just went to the seminar with a Dr. Brown. Anyone been there before? I'm wanting to know what is it you can drink right after surgery?
  6. Thanks for the information I appreciate the help

  8. I am trying to plan for my surgery. Went the seminar. Have had two out of three weight loss management with my regular GP. cardiac appointment done now I just want to try to eat some of the foods that I can.
