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.

Finally !! I am down, I weighed 238 this morning. I am unstuck.  Thank you God.
I got down to 239 then went back up to between 240 and 244 and have been there, the playing in between thoses numbers have been so hard.  Now the weight will start going back away again.
My brother in law died on an ATV and was buried yesterday.He will be missed so much.  I have not been good eating, there has been so much food and I have been nervous, when I got on the scales this morning I was worried. but I had went down. Thank you GOD, you are so good to me.

Christmas is finally over and I am glad of that. I love this time of year but it gets tiring to.
I weighed this morning and I weigh 243 I dont get how this is happenng ,  i am at the first part of Novembers weight, maybe the last of October.
I have increased my walking, it will surely happen soon.
I am a lot happier since I have lost weight, even though I am still fat I can get around so much better than I could, I am happy about that.
The rest will come off when my body is ready to let it go.

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.
