Dr. V Pre-Op Questions

Mrs Sabre · 05-12-2006, 07:06 AM

Because my nutritionist was recommended by Dr. Kuwada, the specific guidelines where based upon his preferences. I know there are subtle differences among bariatric doctors; so ....

For those of you who have had surgery with Dr. V., does he have you do clear liquids for two days before and after surgery? If so, have any of you tried Nectar brand clear protein mix? ... and how does it taste?

Also, does he recommend vitamins beyond a multivitamin and calcium? Does he recommend a particular brand?

Hi Bubble Butt -

I'm thinking about using Dr. Kuwada - can you tell me what you think about him. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I no longer need info Dr. Kuwada. I think I'll stick with who I know and trust.

I was having a moment.

Thanks anyway.

Don't know how I missed this....hope things are going well with you. Mrs. Sabre is active on another board and I am not sure she ever comes on this one anymore. She actually ended up w/ Dr. Voellinger. If you have any questions please ask I will try to answer them for you. I am hitting my 3 yr mark...wow does the time fly. Good luck!!!!
