"Very high quality product. With a little experimentation you can find a texture and flavor that suits you. I mix in almost twice the water it says and always serve over ice. I like the Vanilla as pudding instead of a shake. I mix one envelope of chocolate and one envelope of vanilla for a delicious afternoon supplement of 30 grams of protein and only 200 calories. We sell this at our support group meetings and it's a hit!"
"Best tasting B-12 I've found, however, I use the B-12 dots from our apothecary (vitalady carries them too) because they're incredibly cheaper and considering it takes about 1 minute for one to disolve it's not worth the added expense for 60 seconds of better taste. The dots aren't bad at all."
"These bars should be renames "The Big Lie". They are quite delicious! That's a fact. However, they are obscenely high in calories and it's a proven fact that eating them causes you to crave other foods like them such as candy bars, etc. If we had the discipline to have one every now and then that would be fine but most of us MO folks don't have any discipline when it comes to food and the detour, one way and u-turn bars are all triggers that encourage bad eating habits! It's a shame because they are so tasty."
"You know, normally I'd be suspicious to see someone give all "excellent" ratings but I have to say that Dr. Thomas met or exceeded every expectation I had. His demeanor is caring and supportive. He asked me at my last visit if I had it to do over again would I still have weight loss surgery. I told him ABSOLUTELY! He told me I was beautiful. It meant alot to me because I felt that he wasn't just saying "You're beautiful" he was really saying "I'm proud of you, you've worked hard, you've succeeded and you deserve the happiness it's given you". Maybe I'm reading too much into it but he's just a super guy. I felt like he was happy that I was happy. You don't find that type of compassion in too many doctors."
"Dr. Eich was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure. He never made me feel as if he was in a rush. The procedure itself was much easier than I expected and I have to say that I am more than delighted with the results. I'm thrilled. I can't say enough good things about him and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him if I needed more plastic surgery. I also appreciate the fact that he has a specific interest in bariatric patients. He has spoken to our support group and attends meetings as well. He's the best!!!"
"The hospital has an overall gloomy, dreary, shabby, old appearance. It is quite reknown for it's trauma facility so I made the mistake of believing the entire facility would be of the same quality. They were understaffed, rude, totally insensitive and neglectful. It was a terrible, terrible experience."
"Dr. Clements was great. He was open, upfront and very informative. He laid out all the facts both good and bad and then let me decide for myself. He was very professional yet he had the ability to make me feel that I was "special". This is, of course, a real treat for obese people as we are often treated as second class citizens. I'm looking forward to having surgery and feel very confident in Dr. Clements abilities.
Now that surgery is over and I'm halfway to my goal weight, I still remain as confident as ever in Dr. Clements abilities. Every time I've seen him I felt in my heart that he genuinely cares about me. He's light hearted and funny but you still are very aware that he's committed and in charge. When my hospital stay turned into a negative experience he was supportive and sympathetic. He made me feel safe. He's wonderful - a truly good man who seems to take alot of pleasure in helping folks like me.
It's been 5 months since surgery and I'm two thirds of the way to final goal. Saw Dr. Clements last week. He continues to impress me. He pointed out specific things about my physical characteristics that, once again, made me know that he really cares and knows who I am as a person. For example he commented several times about how I'd lost alot of weight in my face and how I was wearing my hair different, etc. I'd rate him as a double A+ and then some. 15 months post op. Saw Dr. Clements and enjoyed a long visit with him. He's been keeping up with me and our support group. He's got the right personality for this business. Makes you feel good about yourself. He's interested in improving aftercare and having a comprehensive program. I'm at goal and he seemed very pleased with my progress. He still gets an A+ if you ask me."
