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 FOOT and HAND ARE BLACK AND BLUE AND VERY SORE - I AM GOING TO SEE MY DOC TODAY - HE IS WORKING IN THE CLINIC.

Sooo... after 3 hours at the clininc (and yes, my doc was there and I got to see him)... I am fine, just  very badly bruised... he was quite surprised that the x-rays were negative for fractures... so... he gave me liquid vicodin, a tensor wrap and says will push for the MRI to be sooner rather then later due to this... so... still in limbo here!!  I am a hurting unit... OUCHIE!!!!

On a good note - down one more pound - has the plateau been broken??????  woo hoo!

SO... RE NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT CERTAIN FOODS WITH THE RNY:

THE "FORBIDDEN" FOODS: For ME: Yes to tomatos (diced small and chewed well); salsa (mixed with sour cream or cottage cheese), and a fry here and there -- but NO, NO, NO to KFC, burgers, mac & cheese, white pasta, lasagne, hot dogs (yes, I have tried these all and I was SO ILL!)  - even ONE chicken wing made me puke!

Try if you like - but don't be surprised at a negative reaction - I did and now I have no issues in staying away from them!!  

And now my little podium speech (that I need to remind myself of too)...

Remember how the surgery works. You can't eat like everyone else. Remember your reasons for having the operation in the first place! Accept that the operation will restrict the type and amount of food that you might be used to eating. Remember that it is possible to stretch your stomach more rapidly than you would wish and you will end up not losing weight. This could happen when you eat larger quantities than the amount of food that fits comfortably into your new small stomach. Focus on the goal of a healthy body and a new outward appearance.
