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

Pesach Seder Tonight
I will be sleeping and eating at a friend's with her hubby and two kids. I cannot eat matza, lettuce or too much grape juice. Pesach, for me is a very nerve-wrcking time for many reasons. Lately I have been vomiting almost every day -even from foods that I ate before without any problem. I am not sure if the vomiting is because I eat too fast or too much but I am afraid of a stricture. And then after I vomit, I want my B&J coffee ice cream to soothe my throat ! I did not weigh myself at the doc's this week. I have been busy shopping for the holiday and I figured that one day during Chol HaMoed I would go up to town to the doc and weigh and ask for the two 24- hour- Urine results (for the endocrinologist) and arrange to do blood work-up for after Pesach; as well as a trip to the bank to pull out some cash. My clothes are feeling looser and every now and then someone will notice that I appear to have lost weight and actually say something. Yet not as many people have commented/noticed as I would have expected. Oh, well such is life ! 0 Comment(s)
