Surgeon Testimonial Nissim Geron At first I was sceptical as I was really hoping to have my surgery (revision) in Jerusalem but after the original surgeon cancelled my op, I was back on the search. When I returned, Dr. Geron was direct and honest about the risks in this being my 3rd WLS yet comforting at the same time. The office staff is nice . My only problem was that I needed the secretary (and the surgeon was on vacation) and she was out due to a family death. But when Dr. Geron returned, I met with him in his office -and not his clinic. People in Israel needing a revision should know about him and his hospital. Not everyone should have to go only to a hospital in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to get quality care. It also exists in the northern part of the country. I have my 2nd appointment after surgery coming up. As my incisioned opened to a seroma, I am seeing him one week after release from hospital and then two weeks later. When in hospital, the dietician sat with me for more than half an hour privately while I was hospitalized explaining and answering my questions. The surgical ward is smaller than some other hospitals I had visited. This contributed to a "family" atmosphere between patients and nurses and even the doctors. If a patient happened to be out of the room during Rounds, a doctor would find them and motion for them to return to their room. Nothing was done in rebuke. Member Interests

Doc # 4 and Counting...
It is amazing to me that I can go to 3 different docs around the country who all reccomend Open RNY GB and then cannot perform it due to previous ops. Today I travelled to Jerusalem to see yet another doc - #4. He listened to me, took notes and examined my abdomen - he didn't feel any hernias; strange as every other doc has! He also does not feel competent as he never did VBG and cannot undo what he never learned. Such honesty is commendable but I would rather the privilege of competency. I respect the doc for his honesty yet I am still trapped in Gerd and intermitent pains on my left upper abdomen. He suggested I have "Gus" (esophagus_ dilated. Gee, why didn't the Gastro think of that in Sep. when he scoped me? I'll trty to contact the man tomorrow as well as try to talk with a doc in hospital in Tel Aviv. I feel like I just want the darn twisted ring out and let me be FAT. 0 Comment(s)
