Topic: At the OH Conference #OH2014, Graham Elliot reveals....

Check out the videos of Graham's first ever "Fireside Chat" interview.

You'll find out what he has to say about how having weight loss surgery has impacted his wife and kids, find out who he told first about his decision to have WLS, even though he is a chef and MasterChef judge-what he NO LONGER eats, what he thinks about WLS as the "easy way out," his thoughts on being approached about his WLS and questions from others if they should have WLS, and much, much more! 

Be prepared to laugh, motivated and inspired.

Topic: What is the best way to reduce fat?

Hi All,

I am new to OH. Seeking your help.

I am hitting gym regularly and on strict diet. By the way, I am vegan. But still not able to lose fat.

What is the best way out? - Surgery or any other?

Best Regards,

Jennie

Topic: RE: Gastroenterologist recommendation, please! (X-post)

I have been seeing Dr. Sheila Levin in Rockville for years.  You couldn't find a nicer, more compassionate doctor, and she really knows her stuff, as well.  They take nearly all insurances.  You might have to wait awhile to see her the first time but once you're in, there are no problems scheduling appointments as needed.  She is part of Capital Digestive Care, a group of 6 gastroenterologists.  I highly recommend her!

VSG on March 11, 2014. 60 yo female from Washington, DC area.
