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.

Weight is Slow....
Today I saw the orthopedist for a half year check-up on my Ankle Fusion from August 2006. I have also been having pain in the knee of the operated ankle and in the hip of the opposite leg. I thought it was referred pain or compensating for the fusion. X-rays were taken. Osteoarthritis of the knee or a torn meniscus and bursitis of the hip. Recommendations: PT and a bone scan. And to lose 40 kilo. What planet did he fall of of? If I weighed 40 kilo less I would be anorexic!
I weighed myself on the digital scale at the clinics. 87.5 ---
Not much of a weight-loss but something. And my clothes look great on me. Compliments sure don't hurt either.
Exercise is still like a curse word to me but I'm working on changing that concept.

I don't like the word "exercise" either!! I don't mind moving or gliding or dancing or stretching....so I use those words instead :-)
