“Many thanks to Metagenics and their line of bariatric nutritional products. This line of products has truly saved my life. In 2001 I decided to undergo a gastric bypass surgery. I was 37 years old, weighed 297 lbs., and had been disabled for five years. Within eight months of the surgery I was forced to undergo a second operation. This was called a “gastric bypass revision” and took nearly thirteen hours to perform. Due to many complications, I had lost 187 lbs. very rapidly and suffered from severe malnutrition. I was told that death was an imminent possibility.
I then met Dr. Lee Trotter in Carson City, NV. He introduced me to the Metagenics line of medical-grade supplements and in 90 short days I had gained not only some fat weight but muscle weight. My hair and nails started to grow again. My energy levels reached an all time high and I was even able to stop taking almost all my pain medicines.
To date, it’s been almost five months since I’ve starting taking the supplements and I’ve managed to returned to work for the first time in ten years. I am working with children again and I love it. But what amazes me the most is I can actually keep up with the kids; what an awesome feeling that is! Thank you, Dr. Trottter and Metagenics for making a life saving difference for me and my family.”

“My story begins prior to my gastric bypass surgery. My doctor recommended that I substitute two meals a day with a Metagenics protein shake, to prepare my body for the surgery. I was able to lose a substantial amount of weight, I felt great, and the surgery was a success.
After surgery, the BariatrX Essentials medical food shake provided me with the nutrients that my body needed to keep me from feeling weak and fatigued. Five months post-op I’ve lost 71 pounds and I feel like an entirely new person. I notice a tremendous difference when I miss or skip a BariatrX Essentials shake.
Thanks to the weight loss, Metagenics vitamins and minerals, and the BariatrX Essentials shakes I have so much energy. And I appreciate the Metagenics folks for giving me a variety of flavors to choose from—Banana Supreme is still my favorite.
