Surgeon Testimonial

Ed Nighbert, M.D.
My first impression of Dr Neighbert - I thought he looked friendly, not stiff as some Dr's do.

Did my impression of him change- Yes, I liked him even more

How would I describe his office staff - Most all of his staff is very nice

What did I like least - I like him very well

What should future patients know about him -He is a very caring Dr, how you feel matters to him.

How much does he emphasize aftercare - Dr Neighbert and his staff want to know how you feel, I received several calls from his office just to check on me post surgery.

Does he have a structured aftercare program - yes, also group meetings are offered.

Did he address the risk of surgery - I ask that question, before he mentioned it so I am not sure of that question.

How would I rate him overall - I think he is great, in fact my neice is also going now to have the surgery and a few of my friends.

Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner or both - I would want competence more than bedside manner, in Dr Neighbert, you get both.

June the 6th was my 2 year birthday. I still havent lost as much weight as i wanted but I am so much happier.
I can do so much more than I could before weight loss surgery. My health is great, I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

June 6th was my new birthday, I am a year out now. I have not lost any weight in a while in fact I have gained 8 pounds, not good.
June 13 th I went back for my one year check up. I have lost 95 pounds going by their scales.
I have been to upset to write on my profile but I am not through losing weight I have been feeling like a failure but I by no means am. I wanted to lose a hundred and fifty pounds when I had this surgery and I will still do it. I had a hernia repair this past week so right now I cant excerise but I will soon.

Two days ago was my 9 month's out.  I havent lost any in a month because I weighed this morning and was still at 226.
Fat cells have been shrinking because I cant ware the pants I wore just a few weeks ago.  I am now waring size 18,  a big change from 26- 28.  I hope to be in a  smaller size by now but Im not so I am counting my blessings at where I am now. I have been grazing a lot lately and I dont dump so that is a bad thing
I have eat whatever I want so I have to stop that.
Next month weight will be gone.

My Story

I had my surgery on june 6 2006.

I weighed 319, On my presurgery diet I lost 6 pounds

Day of surgery I weighed 314

Oct 21 I am down 73 pounds, Dr Nighbert set the goal at 173, but I want to get to 150. I want to see the scales say 149 truly. I cant remember being under 150, I believe I was borned at 135.I have always had a weight problem. I was a chubby child. I have tried every diet out there I think. I would lose some ,then gain it back with more tacked on. RNY is working, I never have lost 65 pounds , Lots of people have lost over a 100 pounds  that had the surgery around the same time as me. I get afraid that I want get to goal. I have failed so many times, but surely I will, ( I hope)

Thursday Nov 2 2006- I have been stuck for a while, but I do that all the time. I will go a few weeks and not lose then I get on and several pounds will be gone. I dont think I have had the honeymoon period.

Nov 6 2006- Today makes 5 months, I have lost 77 pounds. I wish I had the century card by now, but I will make it. I really want to be in onderland. I will be there by next summer if not before. I will get there by march surely counting 10 pounds a month march I would be there. I might take off and get there way before, who knows. That would make me happy. 

November 13- 240-  2 more pounds gone. I am excited  that I have lost 79 pounds now. Slowly but surely.
