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

My 1st mini-goal
Today I went up to town for a friend's grandson's bris and celebratory meal which consisted of rolls, salads, potato, rice, green beans, and chicken. I ate from the cooked carbs as the chicken did not get put on the tanle until a good half hour after the other foods. Everything stayed in as I ate slowly and in very small amounts. I did not indulge in any cake or ice cream that was available. I also stopped into my HMO to arranmge paperwork for some other medical issues - my ankle fusion follow-up and my monthly allergy shots. I also looked to see of my blood test results were in - most were. My cholesterol was 168 and my HbA1c is now 4.3 after more than a year that it was at the high end of the range at 5.8. Of course wheile I was there I had to weigh myself. I am now 88 K - a half a kilo loss since earlier this week when I saw the surgeon whose scale consistently is two kilo more than here. And I am going to change my ticker to reflect the more "comforting" weight. 0 Comment(s)
