Surgeon Testimonial

Aviv Ben-Meir, M.D.
Well my 1st impression of him was that he had a lisp and he kinda made me feel like I was on a job interview. I still kinda feel that way because he never really lightened up. His staff is really great,they are very knowledable and very helpful. The thing that I liked the least about my surgeon was that he was cocky and he kept telling me his stats like he wanted me to kiss his a**. Future patients should know that he looks nothing like his picture and that he really has no sense of humor. Dr.Ben-Meir is really serious and dedicated to after care,he says that just as important to the WLS itself. Yes St.Vincent Charity Hosp. in Clev, Oh has a very structured after care program. Dr.Ben-Meir addressed the risks of surgery almost like he will get his part done right so you better do your part because he doesn't want anyone to ruin his record of success. I would rate him on a scale of 1 to 5 with a 5 for his indepth knowledge and overall ability. If you ask anyone I hope they would say that surgical competence out weighs bedside manner. I don't need a funny or nice doctor if I'am dying or he doesn't know what he's doing. Lastely I really don't have anything negative to say about the surgeon I'am chosing to do my surgery, but I do warn people that if you don't do your research you could get screwed,,and not in a good way;)

I can't wait....
on October 26, 2008 8:11 pm

This month has flown by and all I can say is, " I'am finally feeling it." I thought I was never gunna feel good and actually see the weight loss. But I can actually feel it. It's so weird because now when I sleep my bones hurt because I don't have the cushion I used to. I just em having the time of my life right now and I feel like everything is startin to fall into place. My husband and I just got a new place and weve just been so busy and consumed with moving. (which is coming up this week). I just feel like a normal sized person again. I just want to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragements.

But when em I gonna see it???????
on September 25, 2008 11:12 pm

Okay so here's the deal, I've lost alot of weight, true, but I seem to still feel like I'am still the fatest girl in the room. And to top it all off I've seemed to hit a standstill. I can't seem to get satisfied. Em I just being ungrateful for the gift God has given me? Do I just lack that much confidence to feel that I still lokk like shit? I'am so confused. Don't get me wrong, I still stand by my WLS decision 100%, but I just want to be at a weight were I feel people are looking at me in awe, not in disgust. I still feel weird going out to eat, like people are watching what I eat, like people are thinking, Her Fat Ass Doesn't Need That...Maybe I'am just crazy, and no amount of weight loss will ever be enough... sorry to have such a negative post this month, but I'am just writing what I feel. Plus why do I feel so bloated? (and no it's not that time of the month either)....

I STILL CAN'T FIT MY DRESS....
on August 27, 2008 12:30 pm

OKAY I FIRST HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS DRESS. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME THIS BEAUTIFUL SPRING DRESS BEFORE I EVEN HAD A DATE FOR MY WLS. MY GOAL WAS THAT FOR MY ANNIVERSARY MY FAT ASS WAS GETTIN IN THAT DRESS, NO MATTER WHAT. WELL IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE MY WLS AND I'VE LOST 85 LBS., BUT I STILL CAN'T FIT MY DRESS. I CAN GET IT ON BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK HOW I WANT IT TO LOOK. SO NOW I'AM SO DEPRESSED BECAUSE I WANTED TO WEAR THIS DRESS FOR OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY DINNER OUT OF TOWN, BUT NOW WHAT DO I DO? I KNOW I SHOULD'NT FEEL BAD, BUT I DO...

IT'S BEEN A WHIRLWIND EXPERIENCE.....
on July 30, 2008 8:52 am

WELL I'AM 3 MONTHS OUT AND I'AM DOWN TO 239 LBS. SO FAR. THIS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR LAST WEEK AND HE HAS SAID THAT MY POLY CYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE HAS GONE ON ONE SIDE. THAT WAS THE BEST NEWS EVER BECAUSE MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DECIDED THAT NEXT YEAR WE WILL TRY TO GET PREGNANT. MY UTERUS IS ACTUALLY NORMAL AGAIN. JUST FROM LOSING WEIGHT MY BODY IS ACTUALLY HEALING ITSELF. TODAY I'AM ACTIVE, GETTING HAPPIER BY THE MINUTE AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON OUR RELATIONSHIP. I FOUND THAT I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, IT WAS ACTUALLY ME WHO I WAS NOT LOVING. I PRAISE AND LOVE HIM FOR STICKING BY ME THROUGH ALL OF MY CRAZINESS, TRANTRUMS AND DOWN RIGHT MEAN NESS TO HIM. I'AM GETTING STRONGER EVERYDAY, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I PRAY FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS THE SURGERY..IT'S A BLESSING IN DISGUISE...

6 WEEKS OUT...
on June 5, 2008 9:47 pm

WELL I'AM SIX WEEKS OUT AND I'VE LOST 44 POUNDS. I'AM EATING REGULAR FOODS BUT NOT TO MUCH OF A VARIETY. I'AM TRYING VERY HARD TO GET IN ALL MY MEALS AND MY FLUIDS, BUT I MUST SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TASKS OF MY DAY. LIQUIDS MAKE ME FULL SO I CAN'T EAT. THEN WHEN I LAY OFF THE LIQUIDS I DON'T GET ENOUGH FLUID INTAKE SO IT'S A LOSE LOSE SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MY VITAMINS AND I JUST NOW LOOK AT IT AS EVERYDAY AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I'VE THROWN UP SO MANY TIMES I CAN'T COUNT, BUT IT'S NOT ALLBAD, I JUST TAKE IT LIKE..GOOD THING I KNOW WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT TOLERATE. SO I ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES AND JUST TRY TO LIVE. I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR AND SEE WHAT THE BIG FUSS IS ABOUT. I ONLY SEE THE WEIGHT LOSE IN MY FACE. BUT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS THEY CAN SEE IT ALL OVER. I JUST WISH I WAS POST OP ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO, BUT THEN WOULD I APPRECIATE THE RESULTS AS MUCH???
