Surgeon Testimonial Vadim Gritsus, M.D. My "joke" about Dr. Gritsus is that he really has no business being a surgeon because he has none of that "doctor" ego. Rarely have I been blessed to be treated by a doctor (and staff) who has such empathy and patience for their patients. The best thing about Dr. Gritsus is that he listens; he never made me feel that any question was wrong, or had previously been discussed and needn't be asked again. I felt that I was in good hands, I always felt safe, I always fetl that I was under the care of someone technically competent. I chose Dr. Gritsus because he was on my plan. Friends who had had the procedure urged me to go to another doctor, but there was no way that I could do this without my insurance covering the costs. However, I decided to STAY with Dr. Gritsus after attending his information session and going for an evaluation visit. Some people prefer their medical professionals to be just that, strictly professional in the highest degree. I needed to go through this life changing procedure with someone who had that professional capability, a comparable staff, but also with someone who understood what this meant to his patients. I feel I got this in going with Dr. Gritsus. The next day.... I wanted to add something about this office. Everyone in the staff is welcoming and accommodating - without Kathy's persistence I don't know long it would have taken the insurance company to come through. And the rest of the desk staff (I'm lousy with names) equally are so nice. Finally, a "shout out" to Dean, he has been so conscious and caring through the last few meetings before the surgery and now with my aftercare. C Schoenbrun Latest Surgery Support Comments

06/17 - "I shouldn't be", "I shouldn't be"..but maybe I SHOUL
I shouldn't be jealous of those people who had surgery after me and have lost more. I shouldn't be upset that things are slow for me now - according to the nutritionist, if I up my protein, I should be fine. I shouldn't think that I will eventually be posting in the "failed WLS" forum. (I wish I didn't even know that forum existed.) I shouldn't dwell in these negative thoughts; it's not helping anyone. I SHOULD recognize that clothes are getting bigger, even if the scale does not reflect that. I SHOULD recognize that I have taken a change for the better, and am eating healthier and more carefully; that in itself is a major triumph. I SHOULD recognize that I have found an ally in this new nutritionist and I will be able to "get back on the ball." I SHOULD be greatful that I've already lost 45 lbs. I intend to work hard on the SHOULDS........ 0 Comment(s)
