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!

LEAP YEAR!!!  My first-born baby turned 14 two days ago!!!

I have misplaced my measurements!!!  WAH!!    BUT... knowing I was a 32 and am now an 18 I can look at the size guide (this one is from Penningtons) and see what all I have lost... wow -- amazing!!!!!!   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  
For best results, take measurements over your undergarments. Always hold the tape measure comfortably loose.

YAY ME!!!!!  Just got back from the sleep study doc - my sleep apnea is GONE!!!!! I had the study 5 weeks ago or so... told me the 116 pound loss is "significant" and explains why there were no readings of me stopping breathing... did say I was quite restless that night - but this I knew already, I am always restless in a strange place... I sleep very well at home! WOO HOO!!!  No more CPAP!!!!!!

ALSO...

I FIT!!!  -- I had that elusive MRI today for this back pain / numb foot of mine... and I FIT IN THE MACHINE... mind you, my arms were touching the tunnel - so no way in hell that a year ago I would have fit!  And for those of you that care to know... yes... the ink in my tats heated up a bit - felt like I was lying on the hot sand on a sunny Florida beach - no pain, but it was an odd sensation.  So, 2 weeks or so and I'll know if the MRI will reveal the cause of this pain!
