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

Ho Hum and Tiddlly Dum
I have been a pig in the eating department the last couple of days. I was babysitting overnight and got the munchies. What did I eat? Store bought packaged cake - not even fresh from a bakery - with cottage cheese. I weigh myself all the time at home but my scale is not accurate and I know it's sort of a "game" going on the scale at home, but I do it anyway. I will be at the HMO tomorrow and hopefully will weigh myself there. My official surgeon appointment is not until 4 August. I hope I can get myself back on track. It was easier when I reacted to sugar. This evening I ate a plain yogurt with homemade granola, flaxseed, ground nuts and two crushed PB cookies (white flour but no sugar). I'm feeling heavy and sluggish and I'm not sure if it is the cookies or the granola. I wrote about it in my journal and I'll try to monitor myself if I have this reaction again. It might well be a Carbs reaction. Earlier today I ate whole wheat pita (home-made) with turkey deli meat and lettuce salad. No reaction at all. 0 Comment(s)
