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!

On Saturday afternoon I mowed our entire property - front and back yards... and it is pretty large... with a hill at the rear... what a workout, BUT I DID IT, FIRST TIME EVER (only lived here 4 years, lol!)

Second was, after I tied one on Saturday night (which I do not recommend for WLS patients!!), had done dishes, cleaned the bathrooms and mowed all the yards plus had a baseball game last night (we tied 26-26) I was one achy body so I thought I'd give a nice relaxing, hot bubble bath a try... and I FIT IN THE TUB WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SIDES AND DAMMING BACK THE WATER!! WOW!!!!!!!
