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!

Blah...... I had my first true dumping on Sunday night -- from sugar alchols in sugar-free ice cream... YUCK!!!!!!!!  Yesterday I stuck to liquid proteins and just let my body rest - so today I feel much better!  I have lots of dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, sauces, sour cream etc) with no ill effects... and I have had mild dumping after other sugar-free products with sugar alcohols, so know it was not the dairy content. Oh well, not a biggie - I just won't have it again!

HOWEVER - last night my scale read 235 - I have hit the CENTURY CLUB woohoo!!!!!!!!

Four months out - and had my 3 month check-up yesterday, lol (between my vacation and the WLS staff vacation)... anyhow... *MY* scale SUX!!!!  Have not lost as much as I thought... still good, but... 11 pounds to reach the Century Club... I am DETERMINED to do it by October 1st!!!!

I have low sodium, so need to increase that (dizzy spells); need to be sure I am drinking lots of fluids (headaches at times) and my menstrual cycle is bonkers!  Also need to increase exercise and take two multi-vitamins and two calcium supplements, plus three protein shakes daily!!!

Other then that, all is good!  
Wearing size 22!  WOO HOO!  
I go back Nov 14 for my 6 month follow-up.
