Surgeon Testimonial

Alan Posner, M.D., F.A.C.S.
So far so good... I like his style, his straight-forwardness, no pussy-footing around... tells the risks out right, and you follow his program or you leave. I really like the fact that he listened to my questions and answered them in a way I understood without talking down to me; and he asked me if I had any more questions for him... WOW!

Dr Posner in Buffalo at Buffalo General Hospital is about the best thing that has ever happened to me! Had my WLS on Tuesday May 8th and was released on Thursday......all the staff who looked after me were the best!!!!! And I mean everyone, from the housekeeping lady who came in to empty the garbage pail to the Drs...eveyone asked me if I was ok, did I need anything, would I like to see a nurse...etc etc.

I'm impressed. Very impressed with the "perfect" WLS surgery I had in Dr Posner's hands to the followup he did during rounds to the greatest nursing team ever!

Oh, and canucks. If you're doing your "due diligence" and searching for a Dr for the WLS, then please do consider Dr Posner. OHIP works with them, and they're the ones I chose and I'm so ever happy that I did!

Thanks once again Dr Posner! Your skilll has given me back my life! WooHoo... I'm on my way!

More WOW moments for me...

#1 ~ on Sunday I fit in a "normal" queen size pair of panty hose - no 5x for me anymore - no sir-ee!!  Just the run of the mill from Shoppers Queen-size one-size-fits-all... BEEN A LONG TIME!

#2 ~ One of the tasks I do at work is distribute the mail... so I realized today that I "jogged" up and down the stairs WITHOUT HOLDING THE HANDRAIL even... this is a BIGGIE for me!!!  AND I was NOT out of breath!!!!

I love my RNY!!!!  hehehe

Once a month we have a dress-down day -- last month I was wearing size 22/24... well, I tried on a pair of 20 jeans this morning and THEY FIT!!!!  OMG!!!!!  Hard to believe a year ago I was wearing a size 34!!!!!!  Even though the scale has not moved in 3 weeks, things are still happening!!!! YAY ME  (lol - anybody watch The Suite Life of Zack and Cody??  I am being London here!!!!)

Confirmed... I have Diverticulitis... NOTHING to do with WLS.. .I have had this for many years (mistakenly dxs as irritale bowle years ago)... so... another thing to contend with, but it is manageable.
