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!

My right foot tingles/falls asleep all on its own - no matter what I may be doing (even while walking or jumping playing volleyball!!).  My surgeon and family doc are both suggesting things.  It is not a blood clot (first thing they ruled out)... I have had back x-rays and am scheduled for an MRI as they are thinking I have a compressed vertebrae or disc that is sending wrong messages down this one leg... it really is quite annoying and worrisome while I am in an active mode or wearing high heels!  They think it may be related to a car accident I had 9 years ago... but my tailbone was insulated with fat and now its not so I am feeling it now -- this has just been happening since WLS BTW. 

Ok, so I responded to a msg board post with the abvoe - and then lo and behold later this day (and about 1.5 hous ago)... 

I was going into the garage to help my kids put the papers together and I fell down the two concrete steps because just then my freaking foot decided to go numb!!  CRAP!  I now have a bump on my foot that is rapidly growing (have ice on it), but I can put weight on it so I do not think it is broken, I hit my back so that will hurt tomorrow, and messed up my left hand pretty good - although again I can move my fingers so I do not think I broke anything!  ARGH!

This really hurts now - man, I hope I did not break anything!!!
