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!

It's All About Me...
Erin A.'s Blog

May 9, 2008
Debbie H from the London Support Group shared this with us:
"This is a favorite poem of mine, by Marlena Gutierrez..  We can be so
hard on ourselves... telling ourselves just how much we hate our
thighs or loose skin, or wish our butt was more like J.Lo'S, or how
big our belly is.  Instead of always being down on our bodies, we
should stop and thank them for all the wonderful things they do for
us everyday."

An Apology To My Body

For all the times "I hated you".  I hated you, and said you were "Too
fat", "Too ugly", "too tired" to do anything.

For all the times I cried in frustration because you didn't look like
I wanted you to.

For all the times I put you down in my own mind and in front of
others.

For all the times I have allowed others to criticize you and judge
you as "not good enough".

For all the times I thought, "you were awkward , graceless, and
clumsy".

For all the times "I tried to change you", by dieting or starving
myself, depriving you of nourishment.

For all those times, forgive me

Forgive me for not seeing you as the wonderous and beautiful body you
really are and have always been.
