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.

I Now Weigh 97 K
I was at my surgeon today as he wanted to check my incision. It is healing well. I can now just put a dry gauze on if I want.
He weighed me and I am down to 97k. That is an average of a kilo a week. Don't know if it will keep up (or down) like this for the duration of my losing but it is better than my other experiences.
I mentioned my frequent diarhea and the doc told me that as I had such horrific adhesions, he bypassed most of my intestines and I only have 80cm and my surgery is like a DS in that respect. Well that explains a lot!
My next appointment at the surgeon is in a month.
I hope to go back to my volunteer job at the library as of tomorrow. I need to get out but I might not stay as long as I used to in the past for my 1st time back in a month.
