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

Had My 1st Visit to Surgeon
I got a friend to drive me as I was a bit freaked about travelling on two buse and my "open" incision. We actually had an enjoyable time chattingh on the way there and when I was in at the doc's she read her Tehillim (Psalms). The doc was not impressed with my "wound" as to him it is within norms but he ub=nderstood my fears. It is still open and will take time to heal shut. At least now I can get it wer-yeah, I can shower and then put a dry gauze on it. I did that tonight it and it is "leaky". I have another appointment in two weeks. I now weigh 99K on his office scale and when I first met with him mid-September, I weighed 106K. But he is very laid back about everything. Maybe because this is my 3rd op and "revisions" sometimes lose slower. I actually started eating on Shabbat-/Saturday - a few days earlier than what the dietician said. I had small amounts of cottage cheese. I really wanted Bamba(an Israeli PB and corn flavored snack but held myself back. And there was my fiasco on Saturday night whioch I thought I wouldn't even mention to the doc but it slipped out. I want to start EXERCISE but as walking is the advised mode, I ain't going to do it in the rain and jeapordize the health of my ankle. Everything in the right time. 0 Comment(s)
