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

10/02 5 month surgiversary
This month has been a bit slow - I think I may have lost a total of 7 pounds - if that. Part of it, I'm sure has to do with my not getting to the gym nearly as much, with the holidays, with the less than careful attention to what I'm eating and how much water I'm drinking. But wait, I didn't eat anything "wrong", perhaps a bit heavy on the carbs and fat at times, but nothing WRONG! The water is an issue, I know - less than 64 oz most days - have to work on that. I love that new diet decaf orange iced tea - have to get more of that in the house and maybe that will help. And life happens, and so I don't get to the gym for more than a few days one month. This is it, the REST of my life and I have to live it. I lost something, I'm still being careful most of the time (that has to be strengthened, though) and I'm doing ok. Life is not a boring flow of the same thing everyday, and I have to, no, I DO accept that some months won't be as stellar as others. I'm proud of what I've done - I just want to be sure I continue to do it! 0 Comment(s)
